Resin Molds Silicone,Epoxy Resin Casting Craft Mold for Flower Preservation Bookends DIY Art (Hexagon+Heart+Square)

I bought this for the hexagon, and so far that is all I have used, but it worked perfect. Couldn’t be happier. If I might offer a tip to those that may be having de-molding issues: I coat the whole inside of the mold with Howard’s Citrus Sheild Premium Paste Wax, and the mold just falls right off. Any wax would work I’m sure, such as minwax, but the Howard’s tends to remain ‘meltier’ than the others and is therefore easier to apply. Also it smells orangey, so that’s nice. I haven’t had any luck at all with de-mold sprays.Couple of points on that though - you may not need release at all with these, I mentioned it because some people said they had issues. Also, I always color my resin - the wax I use is yellow, and may discolor a clear pour.

These are great quality molds. They are deep so that you can at many items to your design. They are easy to demold and very easy to use.

HEXAGON SHAPE: This is my first attempt at a mold of this size and depth. I know I made quite a few design mistakes on this piece, but I'm learning. The letters are painted and glittered wood letters. I put little crystal around the front parametric which can't really be seen de to the second layer of glittered resin. Then i put a thin layer of clear, added dried flowers and greenery, let that semi cure, added one more thin layer of clear, followed finally by a pearl colored resin. This took a total of 3 days to make, about 30 min to an hour each time. The mold is reinforced so it holds its happy very well. These large deep molds take a lot of resin, but you don't have to fill it all the way up. I wanted this piece to sit on its end so i used the entire depth. It's heavy!!!! But my son and his fiancé are excited to display this at their wedding sign in table, even with the mistakes. I highly recommend these molds.HEART: this heart mold held its shape wonderfully. I filled it to the rim. It took 3 layers, clear first. Once almost set, i stuck resin flowers i had made previously, some tiny resin butterflies i got here on amazon, and added a little glitter. A few hours later i dusted off any loose glitter and poured clear resin. The following day i used resin with metallic mica powder and some metallic gray acrylic paint. It was fully cured in about 12 hours.

This mold was sturdy enough to hold a deep pour of epoxy resin for a square finished product. It has held its shape for reuse. Unfortunately, there is a flaw (scratchy knot) in the corner of the mold, which I didn’t notice until I had already mixed by epoxy. So I used it anyway, but it left a flaw in the finished product. I think it’s a good product and I would order again, but check before mixing in case it needed to be replaced.

Ideal for larger projects. Easy to use and economical.

This mold held up to the job. I did pour it layer by layer to ensure that the sides wouldn’t bulge and i think it turned out very nicely.

I got this as I thought I was going to preserve my wedding flowers. However, it came and had too many instructions during a busy time, so I never used. I wish I had tried it, but I was worried I would mess up my wedding flowers.

I am pleased with the molders. I was able to preserve my mother’s flowers for her home going.
