Specifications

Perfect for

• Ring and jewellery trays
• Incense and tealight trays
• Desk trays for clips
• Sage green concrete look trays

Compatibility

Works with: epoxy resin.

Pairs well with: mica powder, alcohol ink, gold flakes and pressed flowers.

Not suitable for: UV resin in one thick pour, as UV light cures only thin layers.

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 is the oval tray mould?
It measures 5x11x2cm (2.0x4.3x0.8 inch).

How is it different from the octagon soap dish mould?
This one is 5x11x2cm with a round recessed well; the octagon soap dish mould is 13x9cm with drain ribs.

Can I colour the resin or add flowers to the oval tray?
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 deep pour over the time your resin maker states, so pick it for this mould. UV resin cures only thin layers under a UV lamp, so keep it for thin top coats and shallow charm or bookmark moulds.
