Good Molds, tricky to use, not labeled
These Molds are, as others have said, tricky to use. The lids fit perfectly under the lip on the dice as long as you install them the correct way. They feel delicate and you have to be careful not to accidentally tear them when removing the die. Otherwise works exactly as described and the little measure cup and tear droppers are great.I do wish the molds were labeled on the outside as to what they are to make it easier to pull the ones you need. My first attempt was a 1 stage pour and I ended up with air bubbles at the top, even with 'no bubble' ultra clear resin. I think I will try doing a 2 stage pour the second time around.

Better Than Expected
These molds work, as the headline says, better than expected. They’re surprisingly tough as well! However! Let me give you some tips, ok?1 - there 100% will be weird gaps and spaces on the ‘top’ if you don’t fill it really full after the lid is on.2 - you will get resin evvvverywhere when you try to overfill it, especially if it’s before the lids are on.3 - if you’re using a pressure pot, you need to make wells on the lid for the extra resin4 - the d4 are sharp as heck, watch your fingers!5 - air bubbles don’t escape well without pressureSo #1 &2 - if you’re letting these cure in the air or in a pressure pot, if they’re not overly full, you will end up with gaps on the top number. This goes along with #2, that it spills everywhere. My Tip: figure out how the lids go on first. Then fill the resin up to just underneath the lip the lid fits into. Let them sit a little bit, not forever, but so they get just a bit less drippy. With your gloved hands, slide the lid-tab into the notched area, then gently push down with one finger over the lid hole, and use your other hand to run a toothpick gently under the rim, so the lid pops into place. Then use a Pipette to add more resin to fill it all the way up.#3 Using a pressure pot? My tip: Once you have the lids on using the mostly-clean method I described above, take some Play-Doh or (some other kind of not very expensive clay type material) and make almost a mini volcano or cup shape on the lid, around the hole, and even onto the sides if you want. Don’t press too hard, it’ll squish all the resin out. Then add more resin into that well - when the pressure does it’s work, it will suck all that excess resin down into the mold. If you don’t add a well and some extra resin, you will likely end up with perfectly clear dice that are missing chunks on the top. I use Play-Doh soft sculpting air dry clay, about a pea size per mold.#4 - they’re all sharp, but no kidding, the d4 (pyramid) dice is SHARP. Very very pointy and stabby. I happen to like it, but I don’t let kids touch them.#5 While they may make a lovely sharp set of dice, the air bubbles don’t come out very easily without a pressure pot, so expect some micro bubbles or surface bubbles. What I’ve found works the best for the least bubbles is to heat the resin as I pour in a small stream. I pour some mixed resin into another container, and then I very slowly pour, and I aim a heat gun or blow dryer at the spot just before the resin pours out, to try to heat it so it’s super runny and air can escape easily. I’ll also stop and blow hot air into the liquid in the mold every few centimeters. It seems to work okay, but of route won’t work if you’re trying to do some kind of specialty pour. Also, the hot air can eventually cause your heated resin to seize up into a hockey puck in seconds, which is why I use two vessels, so I don’t ruin the big cup of resin, just a few grams at most.You can also try heating the resin in the mold after the lid is on, sometimes the bubbles pop out of the lid hole when I try that. Make sure to add more resin though!Bonus Tip #6 : fill a little bit of the mold and then make sure the resin is all the way into the sharp corners before you continue - they’re air bubble traps.Bottom line: They can be fiddly to work with, and work best with a pressure pot, but these are really nice dice molds. They make nice dice, and the molds are rugged. Bubbles are the biggest issue, and that can be managed with technique and practice.

Fa il suo lavoro
Gli stampi sono efficienti, l'unica difficoltà è mettere il tappo una volta riempito ma dopo un po' di pratica diventa più semplice.La vernice era secca, sono stato prontamente aiutato dal supporto

Good molds for the price
I have used these for chocolate rather than resin. You do need to be careful to avoid air bubbles and they are a bit fiddly, but the numbers are nice and crisp, and the lids fit

Bon moule
De bon moules même si ce ne fut pas simple au 1ère essai ;) le seul soucis, la peinture sèche inutilisable hélas, je vais donc chercher une autres solution pour les chiffres.
