- What sizes does this mold make?
- The solid round is 3.25 inches across and the donut is 3 1/8 inches across with a 1 3/4-inch center hole. Both cavities are 3/4 inch deep.
- Can I pour resin in one go?
- A 3/4-inch deep pour is thick for most resins. Pour in two or more layers and let each partly cure to limit heat buildup and shrinkage.
- Does the glossy finish need polishing?
- No. The shiny interior leaves a glossy surface on the cast piece, though bubbles trapped against the mold will still show.
- What release agent should I use?
- Most silicone molds need none. If your resin sticks, a light coat of mold release helps and won't dull the gloss much.
- Is it only for resin?
- It works with epoxy and UV resin, and also with plaster, soap and wax. Deep pours of those materials may need slower setting mixes.
- How do I hang the finished ornament?
- The donut's 1 3/4-inch hole takes ribbon or twine directly. For the solid round, cast or drill a small hole near the top before it fully cures.
