Remold?Updated 8 months ago
If the earplugs do not fit snugly following molding, you can easily achieve an improved fit through remolding. Simply repeat the remolding process outlined.
Custom Molded Earplugs Remolding
- Use the smallest size of silicone tip for molding.
- Use 2 coffee mugs and pour in boiling water from a kettle - then place each earplug in the mug of boiling water for a full 5 minutes. These should already have the silicone tips and back plugs assembled.
- The molds need to be soft in order to get a good mold!
- Insert the mold into your ear, making sure the silicone tip enters the ear canal. Then spread the molding material around the concha of your ear, making sure the material fills the entire space.
- Any rough edges after molding can be smoothed out with just reheating the molds in hot water for a few minutes to make them soft enough to smooth, but not too soft to ruin your awesome new mold!
FOAM TIPS USAGE: For the most protection and isolation, switch to the foam tips afterward. With these, if you need more isolation, move to a larger size to find what works best for your situation. Also, for the foam, make sure to compress the foam before inserting the earplugs into your ears. This allows the foam to expand fully in the ear canal and prolongs the life of the foam tip.
