Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this mould can withstand?
The mould is heat tolerant up to 250°C (482°F).
Can I use this mould for polymer clay (Fimo)?
Yes, this mould is suitable for non-edible products like Fimo.
How should I clean the mould after using it for soap or wax?
Clean with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
What are the approximate dimensions of the pieces created?
The measurements are approximately: Width 1.1 - 2.4cm, Length 1.5 - 4.1cm, Depth 0.2 - 0.5cm.
Is it safe to use a blowtorch to remove air bubbles from resin in the mould?
It is not recommended. Using excessive heat such as a blowtorch could cause the resin to fuse with the mould, potentially shortening its lifespan.
What is the main difference in lifespan when used with resin versus sugarpaste?
The mould may have a shorter life span when used with resin compared to sugarpaste due to the nature of the materials and potential heat interactions.
Do I need to prepare the mould before using it with edible materials?
Yes, for edible applications, it is recommended to wash the mould thoroughly with warm soapy water and dry it completely before use.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty removing the crafted item from the mould
Ensure the material (e.g., paste, chocolate) has fully set or cooled before attempting to de-mould. Gently flex the mould edges to release the item. For edible items, a light dusting of cornstarch or edible oil can sometimes aid release.
Residue left on the mould after use
For edible materials, wash with warm soapy water and dry completely. For non-edible materials like resin, use a soft cloth with isopropyl alcohol to gently clean any residue. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the mould.
Mould appears to be degrading faster than expected (especially with resin)
This can occur if excessive heat was used, or if the resin was not allowed to cure properly. Ensure you are following the material's specific instructions and avoid using high heat sources like blowtorches directly on the mould.
Air bubbles in the crafted item
When filling the mould, tap it gently on a flat surface to dislodge air bubbles. If working with materials like resin or gumpaste, consider using a fine needle to gently release trapped air before it sets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. Ensure the mould is clean before first use. For edible applications, wash thoroughly with warm soapy water and dry completely. For non-edible applications, a quick rinse and dry may suffice.
Compatibility: This mould is compatible with a wide range of materials including sugarpaste, flower paste, chocolate, isomalt, gumpaste, Fimo, wax, soap, and resin. It can tolerate heat up to 250°C.
Care:
- Edible Use: After each use, wash with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly before storing.
- Non-Edible Use: Clean according to the material used. For materials like resin, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth or isopropyl alcohol might be necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Resin Caution: When using with resin, avoid using excessive heat (like a blowtorch) to remove air bubbles, as this can cause the resin to fuse with the mould, potentially shortening its lifespan.
