For polymer clay:
Molds, which we make, are made of solid dense resilient silicone. Our molds resist polymer clay very well and help to get clear and high-quality products.
If you use them correctly their term of operation is unlimited.
Important information for using:
- Molds withstand the temperature from -40 to +180°C ( from -40 to +356° F), it makes possible to bake clay in the form.
- Silicone forms are made to work with polymer clay, gypsum, soap, wax etc. Non-toxic.
- The silicone isn’t a food material, he hasn’t medical or food certificate, so we don’t recommend to fill in a form of chocolate or other food.
- We advice you to wash forms with a soft sponge and liquid soap.
- Don’t use piercing and cutting tools in the work with forms.
- We recommend to bake complicated cameos and flowers together with a mold and remove it only after the full cooling. You must remove the product from the mold very carefully, at first slightly bend form from the edges, then easy press on the centre of the mold and remove the product.
- Don’t bend molds in half!
- The color of mold may vary.
- After baking the polymer clay in complex or deep molds remove the finished product under the running water with soap.

Food-grade silicone:
High quality elastic silicone with a platinum catalyst. Non-toxic!
There is plenty of variants of usage: food, soap, plaster, wax, polyester and epoxy resins, alkalis etc. Resistant to aggressive environment.
The basic principles of work with silicon forms:
- Wash forms with soft sponge and soap and let them dry before using
- Don’t use sharps in work with molds.

For epoxy resin:
Silicone is flexible, resistant to tearing, durable in use. Production - the USA.
Scopes of silicone forms are different.
They can be used with such materials as light metals, plaster, wax, soap, epoxy and urethane resins.
Operating temperature: from -18°C to 204°C / from -0.4°F to399.2°F
Recommendations for using of our silicone molds:
1. First of all use molds very carefully, don't use sharp and other piercing-cutting items in work with molds.
2. Shortly before the work rinse the molds in water, because silicone tends to pull on the dust and the various types of litter. After that, leave to dry on a napkin.
3. Epoxy resin should be poured in molds in layers, allowing air bubbles completely escape.
To expedite the process of escaping of bubbles and time of solidification of resin, the mold can be a bit warmed up. For example, heat the oven to 80°C, turn off, ventilate it a little and put mold, filled with resin in the oven.
Surface bubbles are easy to remove by gas lighter for stoves.
4. Remove the finished product from the mold very carefully, at first gently bending back the edges of the form, then a slight movement to press the center of mold and remove the product.
5. To facilitate removal of the finished product of a complex, deep mold, we recommend to remove it under running water with soap.
