How to Use

1. Wash the mould with mild soap and water, dry it fully and set it on a flat, level surface.
2. Mix epoxy resin and hardener in the ratio your resin maker gives, stirring slowly to limit bubbles.
3. Add pigment, mica or inclusions if you like, then pour slowly into the deepest part first and let it level out.
4. Pop surface bubbles, cover against dust and leave it for the full cure or setting time your maker states.
5. Flex the silicone away from each edge and ease the piece out without pulling on thin parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are the agate trinket dishes?
The maker does not state a size for this mould, so we have left it out rather than guess; the photos show round and square dish cavities.

How is it different from the oval agate tray mould?
This mould casts several small round and square dishes with scalloped rims; the oval agate tray mould casts one oval tray of 6, 8 or 10 Inch, 12mm deep.

Can I colour the resin or add flowers to the dishes?
Yes. Mica powder, alcohol ink and opaque pigments mix into epoxy resin, and dried or pressed flowers sit well in a thin first layer before you top it up.

Should I use epoxy resin or UV resin here?
Epoxy resin cures right through a full pour over the time your resin maker states, so pick it for a solid piece in one go. UV resin cures only thin layers under a UV lamp, so pick it when you want quick, thin layers and have a lamp.
