The Last Charcuterie Board Epoxy Resin Mold You'll Ever Need Forget about wasting time creating wood and tuck tape molds by hand, or using cumbersome HDPE board molds that have to be taken apart, put together, and resealed. Our unique, ultra thick, ultra tough silicone molds make the production of wood and epoxy resin pieces a breeze. Read more Easy To Use With Little Cleanup Required It takes just seconds to get ready to pour resin. Once the resin is set and dry, simply flex the mold and pop it out. Nothing to unscrew, nothing to reseal. The resin wont stick to silicone (a non-silicone based mold release should be used) and will come right off the surface of the form. Super Thick + Durable These aren't "trinket molds". They cost so much to produce because of the amount of silicone used. With walls ranging from 1/2-5/8" thick these molds are designed to last through the rigors of production, and last for many many projects, not just a few. Form Flexibility Is The Key Can your HDPE or wood and tuck tape form do this? The flexibility of the mold is what makes it awesome. It takes just seconds to pop and peel your finished artwork or wood and resin serving board out of the form. Create Beautiful Epoxy Resin Art And Cutting Boards Our board molds, available in many popular sizes, allow woodworkers and resin artists to quickly create production pieces at scale, while saving time (and money) in the process. Read more The last epoxy resin charcuterie board mold you will ever need. Created just for makers after extensive demand asking for us to produce molds. These unique, flexible silicone molds significantly cut down on the setup and de-molding time usually involved with other board molds. These molds are superior to wood and tuck tape, and HDPE molds because: They never need assembled, or disassembled. Saving huge amounts of time. The strength and flexibility of the molds allows you to insert and remove pieces of wood easily. The corners and edges never need sealed. The wood stays in place, tight in the mold, if you cut it 1/16" larger than the width of the mold. Preventing the need for clamps or weights. The mold is heat resistant to 450C, and wont damage when you are popping epoxy bubbles with a torch (quickly) or heat gun. The molds are reusable. How many times we are currently unsure of, but many of our molds have made 40+ boards and still look new. Like HDPE, epoxy does not stick to silicone. However the heat generated by the exothermic reaction as well as the chemical components in epoxy resin can wear down silicone, making it brittle and causing potential mold tear-out. That's why we highly recommend using a NON-silicone based mold release spray, such as the MG Chemicals 8329, Smooth On Universal Mold Release or Mann Ease Release 200. This will also increase the life of your mold. This spray is readily available from Amazon (search "mold release spray"), just make sure you chose a spray that is not made of silicone, like one of the ones mentioned above. Our silicone board forms are available in a variety of commonly used sizes, the most popular sizes for resin charcuterie, cutting boards and cheese boards, coasters, and small table tops. However, don't stop there! These molds can be used for all types of epoxy resin casting and resin art, the sky is the limit. Over 20,000 woodworkers, resin artists and makers trust Crafted Elements molds to help them 'Make Epic Things'. Discover why by adding the item to your cart now. Happy making! Some Beautiful Charcuterie Boards Made With Our Silicone Forms Read more Why Are These So Darn Expensive? A common question we get is related to the cost of these molds. After all, doing a search for silicone resin molds on eBay or Amazon will return hundreds of low cost options. So what's the difference? Quite simply, it has to do with the volume of silicone used in our molds, the production process and shipping cost. Silicone, much like epoxy resin is an A/B mixture, and like resin, costs over a hundred dollars per gallon! Most of our molds have thick 1/2" to 5/8" walls and bottoms, and are much larger than a small, cheap mold used to cast a "trinket". The cost of silicone is a major factor in why these cost so much. Similarly, the cost of HDPE (a competing mold material) is much lower in cost than silicone. The combination of the raw materials cost, production time/labor, and the value of the time and frustration you will save by using our silicone molds should more than justify their value.
