4" Holographic 'Mosaic' Faceted Edge Coaster Mold
This is for one beautiful holographic round mold with a "mosaic" pattern that can be absolutely mesmerizing. It measures 4" (10 cm) in diameter and is 0.25" tall.
Seen other holographic molds on the market and wonder why you should purchase mine instead of one of those? Good question with an easy answer! Every one of my customers is important to me and I try to do everything I can to show just how much I appreciate every single artist who decides to give my molds a shot.
I put my heart into everything I make and I did not just purchase a flat acrylic round, slap some rainbow film on it, and call it a day. These coasters will actually feel like COASTERS. They have beautifully faceted edges and I must say that the faceted molds are a personal favorite of mine.
No corners were cut in the making of this mold, I am and always will be a perfectionist and I can assure you that will definitely show. I am confident in the quality of my molds.
Details for resin artists:
Please make use of the information I provide because I will not be able to replace these molds due to user error because, well, I cannot afford to.
Do NOT touch the inside of your mold, the holographic effect is VERY delicate so NO TOUCHING THE RAINBOW. If you have to remove any glitter or pigment, please use a piece of scotch tape and gently lift it off the mold surface. Do not attempt to scrub or wipe down your mold, you will instantly murder the mold. This mold is not your regular silicone resin mold, but it will be fine as long as you are careful with it. I will send a card with the information you will need along with your mold, please be sure to read it.
Made with high quality platinum silicone that has been vacuumed and slow cured. Please treat your mold with kindness and it will do the same for you in return. Please do not torch your resin coaster like you're making crème brûlée. To rid the mold of bubbles, try lightly misting it with 99% alcohol after giving the resin a few minutes for the bubbles to rise to the top. I say "lightly" and I do mean "lightly". I use a pump action misting spray bottle that I got for a couple bucks on Amazon and it sprays a fine spray of alcohol like it's hairspray. Kinda cool. Alcohol can and will damage silicone, however, so that is why I say lightly mist. 99% alcohol evaporates very quickly as well so do not try this trick with seventy something percent. The resin you poured will protect the important part of the mold but please don't go nuts... And do NOT DO THIS AND THEN DECIDE TO FOLLOW IT WITH FIRE. You'll.... Have a really nice uh. Well you'll have way more fire than you intended and probably even imagined possible. If you're wearing proper PPE and a fire happens.... Yeah just don't set flammable things on fire. Trust me.
Details for food grade:
I use FDA approved silicone that is definitely safe for food. Please do not touch the inside of the red molds, they are identical to the ones that are not food grade in terms of how delicate they are. When cleaning your food grade mold, please use a very gentle soap, allow it to air dry, and do NOT put your mold in the dishwasher. You can gently and safely clean the mold cavity as long as it is under running water. Silicone is naturally nonstick, so you will not have any issues gently washing your mold by hand.
PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THE MOLD WITH THE INTENTION OF REPLICATING OR DUPLICATING IT OR ANY PORTION OF THE MOLD. You are more than welcome to sell any items yielded from the mold you receive, but do not create and sell copies of the mold. Please, please, please have some respect for a fellow hard working human being. Please.
