Here is a question I have not been able to get answered by dow, vacker or ge, how can I stop lsr from healing back together after it has been cut?

RE: LSR

Dust it with talc or similar powder.

RE: LSR

(OP)
Yes that does work,but not for all medical industry parts.

RE: LSR

Silicone should not self heal, or fuse if it is completely crosslinked. I've found that most silicone parts are not completley cured in manufacture. Try post-curing at a higher temperature or longer time.
