Will epoxy resin dissolve a silicone spatula, cake icing spatula? Will it work well enough to get the job done without contaminating the resin?

  • make a test batch and find out. – Solar Mike Feb 05 '20 at 12:40
  • Dude, can you pay for that or what? – Andyz Smith Feb 05 '20 at 12:56
  • You can buy the resin and a spatula and test to your heart's content. – Solar Mike Feb 05 '20 at 12:58
  • What brand of resin are you using? Two part resin is compatible with most materials, haven't had any issues mixing it in solo cups. I think some applicators are even silicone to help evenly spread the pour. – jko Feb 05 '20 at 16:57
  • The spatula won't be harmed. Nor will it do anything well. If you are trying to make a nice fillet, use an suitable old lightbulb for big fillets, or a mellon baller for smaller ones. They sell sets of filleting tools as well. There is an industry standard [yellow plastic epoxy spreader](https://www.google.com/search?q=yellow+plastic+epoxy+spreader&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS724US727&oq=yellow+plastic+epoxy+spreader&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.12322j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) that works well and can be cut easily for fillets. Hardened epoxy peels right off. – Phil Sweet Feb 06 '20 at 02:19

Silicone molds are often used for epoxy resin casting, so I don't see any problems.
