This mold makes a 3D miniature NATO bullet using a 2 part mold for UV resin crafts.
*This bullet is not actual bullets and cannot be used for firing. The size may be different from the actual bullets.
Measurement of completed work:
3cm tall x 4mm wide (at widest point)
1.18 x 0.157 inches
Slight shrinkage between after curing is to be expected of the final product.
Made in Japan
Material: Silicone
Handmade
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
