Using a large silicone mold
Are you planning to cast table tops, trays or other artworks such as photo frames, orgonites, cubes or dried flowers yourself? Then you need a high-quality large silicone mold. For a large project you usually use a lot of epoxy and other expensive materials. Therefore, choose good quality molds. Our molds are extremely suitable for making a large resin art creation.
Our large silicone molds are made of high quality silicone rubber. This makes these molds extremely suitable for large castings. The molds are still very flexible and durable, which gives them a wide versatility. This makes our large silicone molds popular with both beginners and advanced epoxy users.
Casting of epoxy resins
For casting objects we use a large silicone mold, because epoxy resin does not adhere to it. The epoxy casting resin you choose depends on the desired result and the size of your project.
For smaller casting projects, like the examples above, we recommend our UltraEpoxy premium. Want to make larger castings of more than 1 inch at a time? Then use our special epoxy casting resin for large castings.
When you want to start creating resin art, it is important to have everything ready for casting. Think of silicone molds, epoxy and possibly glitter and dyes.
Silicone molds for your creations
A good quality silicone mold can be used multiple times to make your creations. Our molds are made exclusively from high-quality silicone rubber . This material lasts longer and the chance of the mold being damaged during demolding is considerably smaller than with cheaper molds. If you choose a large silicone mold, it is important to take a number of things into account.

To pour
Check the silicone mold before first use. Remove any dirt or dust with adhesive tape. After this, you can carefully pour the filler into the mold. Our molds are suitable for epoxy, plaster, concrete and jesmonite . You can use a spatula or stick to evenly distribute the liquid. -
Hardening
After pouring, it is important to let the epoxy resin harden according to the recommended time. The hardening time varies per product. Read the instructions carefully before you start pouring. -
Remove mold
After the epoxy, plaster, concrete or jesmonite has fully hardened, you can carefully remove the mold from your artwork. Silicone molds are widely used for making art, because they are easy to use in combination with resin. They are therefore easy to remove, causing little damage during removal. Of course, it is important that you do this carefully.
