This 2-part mold makes a miniature pencil using resin.
Measurements of completed pencil:
Approx 2 cm x 3 cm (0.79" x 1.18")
Material: Silicone
Made in Japan
Handmade
Compatible with:
UV resin, Epoxy two part resin, silver and gold clay
Please use a release agent with the mold to prolong the life of silicone.
Tips for maintaining life of silicone molds:
- Demold as soon as the resin is cured to help the mold last longer
- Always apply a mold release agent and let it sit on the mold for 20 to 30 minutes before putting resin into the mold
- After demolding, gently wipe the silicone mold surface that was in contact with resin previously using alcohol tissue so that there is no residual resin or paint
- Store it at room temperature away from sunlight (sunlight can break down silicone overtime)
- Avoid using a torch or fire over the resin (some people do this to remove surface bubbles) as the high temperature of a direct flame may break down the silicone
- UV-resin is preferred to epoxy as the curing time is shorter
- We highly recommend using an industrial mold release agent
- Avoid leaving resin inside the mold for too long as it will naturally degrade the silicone, especially if paint is added into the mix
