Animal & Car Silicone Mould | 8 Cavity | 28x18cm | White - Concrete & Resin

Eight cavities on one 28 x 18 cm sheet, so a single pour gives you a whole set rather than one piece at a time. The designs run to animals and one vehicle, with a giraffe, a snail, a spiky dinosaur and a car among them, each carrying moulded line detail on the face and body. Cavity sizes range from 6 x 6.9 cm up to 9.6 x 5.1 cm, which is nursery decor and gift scale rather than miniature.

Specifications

Ideal For

• Concrete and jesmonite makers producing a nursery or kids range
• Small business sellers who need eight pieces from one pour
• Resin artists making charms, magnets and keyrings
• School and holiday craft using plaster of Paris
• Anyone building a themed set rather than single pieces

Perfect for

• Cast a full set of animal fridge magnets in one go
• Pour pastel concrete pieces for a nursery shelf or a mobile
• Make plaster blanks for children to paint
• Cast resin charms for keyrings, bag straps and zip pulls
• Build a coordinated gift set with matching colours across all eight shapes

Compatibility

Works with: concrete and cement mixes, epoxy resin, UV resin, plaster of Paris and candle wax.

Pairs well with: acrylic paint and colours, for painting plaster or concrete casts once they are dry.

Not suitable for: food use, since no food-grade rating is stated for this mould; and freestanding figures, since these are flat backed shapes designed to lie or mount flat.

Before You Buy

• The manufacturer does not state a cavity depth for this mould, so we do not list one.
• One of the eight cavities is a car rather than an animal, despite the product name.
• The mould is supplied on its own. Concrete, resin, plaster, paint and colourants are separate.
• Thin points such as horns, tails and legs are the parts most likely to trap air, so tap well before the mix sets.
• No food-grade rating is stated for this mould, so keep it to craft materials.

How to Use

1. Rest the sheet on a rigid board, since a 28 cm mould flexes badly when carried full.
2. Mix enough material in one batch to fill all eight cavities, so the colour matches across the set.
3. Fill the smaller cavities first, then the larger ones, working quickly before the mix thickens.
4. Tap the board firmly to lift air out of the narrow legs, horns and tails.
5. Scrape the backs level so every piece sits flat.
6. Cure fully, then peel the silicone back from each shape rather than pulling on the cast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many shapes do I get and how big are they?
Eight cavities on a 28 x 18 cm sheet. The five top row shapes run from 8 x 5.3 cm to 9.6 x 5.1 cm and the three bottom row shapes from 6 x 6.9 cm to 8 x 6.2 cm.

Which animals are in the set?
A giraffe, a snail, a spiky dinosaur and a car are clearly identifiable, and the remaining four are animal and character shapes shown in the product photographs.

How deep are the cavities?
The manufacturer does not publish a depth for this mould and we will not estimate one. The photographs show the profile against the sheet.

Can I use this with concrete and with resin?
Yes. The silicone suits concrete and cement mixes, epoxy and UV resin, plaster of Paris and wax. Concrete gives a matte stone finish and resin gives a glossy one.
