This mold is so nice because it comes with a rim on the edges to keep all your goodies in place! It's also the perfect size - not too big and not too small - so you can create platters all day long! They make great serving dishes, trinket dishes and even as a protective base at the bottom of a planter.
These molds take approximately 1.5 cups of resin (350 ml), depending on any inclusions.
Tips (always follow instructions for the resin you are using - these are meant as general guidelines):
-
Always pour your resin into the hardener (pour hardener into the mixing container first, then resin).
-
Stir resin with a plastic or silicone stirring stick to reduce air bubbles. Wood is not recommended as it can create air bubbles.
-
Let resin sit a few minutes after stirring to reduce air bubbles.
-
Don’t use a torch or heat gun as it could damage the molds and make it difficult to de-mould, causing them to tear - this is especially true near the edges.
-
Wash mold as needed in warm soapy water.
