How to operate a mold liquid silicone that is too thick?

I needed to flip through a very fine mold,mold liquid silicone ,but I found that the silicone gel was very thick. After finally vacuuming, I found that it was impossible to fill the mold during pouring. Generally, when encountering such situations, the following methods are used to handle them. Below, HANAST Silicone will teach you:
1. Slow down the curing time for the dry type, so that there is enough time for the mold to flow. Slowly fill the fine areas of the mold full, and then quietly cure and de-mold.
2. The production volume is very large, and slow solidification of liquid silicone will delay production, leading to delayed goods. This can also be achieved through the second method, which is to add "silicone oil", also known as a diluent in the industry, to the silicone. You don't need to add too much to increase the volume until you feel that the fluidity is good, and then stir and vacuum pour.
