Rectangle Deep Casting Mould | 5.8x8.9 Inch | 50mm Deep | Pack of 1 - Flower

Turn garlands, bouquets and small memories into a display block with this rectangle deep casting mould. The mould casts a rectangle block (5.8x8.9 Inch, 50mm deep). It is made of flexible white silicone that bends away from the cured piece and works with epoxy resin. Deep casting means one thick block of resin, so it needs a resin made for deep layers, and flowers must be fully dried first or they can brown inside the block.
