PDMS Mold Preparation Procedures
Preparation of Silicone Monomer
- Use 10 parts of Sylgard 184(silicone monomer) and 1 part of the curing agent (by mass)
- Mix well with the end of a pipette or a skewer stick
- Pour it in your mold and pull the air using a desiccator
After this, put the mold with the silicone mixture in an oven with temperatures set according to working temperatures for about 20 mins

Things to Note
- If using plastic petri dishes for the molds, make sure to check the working temperature for the material you are using.
- If using PLA 3-D Printed Molds, note that the working temperature is 60 to 65 degree Celsius.
