I’m looking for the best way (or any way) to mold a material like silicone onto ceramic. Does anyone have thoughts on this issue?
depends on the type of ceramic…? it’s a molded part right?
Usually the smaller part is molded first, so think of it as molding ceramic onto silicone.
yes, molded. In this case the ceramic part is larger - a plate, probably jigger molded. I want to have a silicone “foot” on the base to prevent slipping.
In the process you mention, could the plate make up a part of the silicone mold?
(sorry if this is a dumb question)
I don’t know much about ceramics or silicone, but I have a garlic/ginger mincing tool that is ceramic that has a silicone type circular section on the bottom to be non-slip.
Something like this-

Thanks! proof that it can be done is good!
I’m guessing its put on after like silicone print. The unglazed surface I think should stick to it ok. Doesn’t look moulded in.

Interesting. Thanks for the info!
Hey Lew,
I saw that pdf earlier. it looks like it is only for thermoplastics + silicone.
I’ve been searching around and have found a few companies that offer over molding on ceramic and glass. Just wanted to make sure it was a reality!

Re-read your copy jc.
lol. I guess I’m getting better at being a designer - I didn’t read the copy and went right for the chart!
