A silicone mold to make bottle openers is not revolutionary, but one of this build, durability and quality is. Using over 15X the amount of silicone versus common $15 imported bottle opener molds from Amazon (that warp and rip with minor use), our heavy duty, production grade, super durable bottle opener molds will keep up with the demands of any resin artist. Plus unlike most common low cost flimsy imports, our bottle opener set #2 mold is 3/4" deep, allowing you to make thicker, stronger bottle openers.
The six pockets feature six different shapes, each featuring a 40.5mm diameter recessed opening and a corresponding lower pocket to accommodate the standard metal bottle opener metal insert hardware you can get on Amazon. Once you demold your resin casting from the mold, use a thin drill bit to pre drill the holes for the bottle opener insert, put the insert in place, and use two small screws (usually provided when you buy the insert hardware) to attach it to your resin piece.
Bottle openers are a fun project that are easy to sell at markets or gift to friends and family. Since they use only small amounts of resin and use off the shelf hardware, they are relatively low cost to make.
This mold does not include any bottle opener inserts, hardware or screws. See these on Amazon and select inserts that are between 39-40mm in diameter.

Crafted Elements Silicone Molds
The last mold you will ever need. Created just for makers, resin artists and wood workers, these time saving flexible yet durable silicone molds significantly cut down on the setup and demolding time usually involved with other molds. Silicone molds are superior to wood and tuck tape, and HDPE molds because:
- They can be used with epoxy resin, resin and wood, concrete, Jesmonite, plaster and more.
- 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.
- When using wood, the wood stays in place, tight in the mold if you cut it 1/16" larger than the width of the mold. Alternatively use our HDPE block kit in conjunction with hand weights or clamps to keep your wood from up in your resin. The HDPE blocks dont stick to set resin and are easily and cleanly removed.
- The mold is heat resistant to ~450F. Avoid direct contact with the flame of a torch. Briskly wave your torch or use a heat gun to pop bubbles.
- The molds are reusable. However silicone molds do have a finite lifespan when used with epoxy resin, but getting 20-30+ castings out of the mold can be expected when they are properly cared for and a non-silicone based mold release spray is used.
- Like HDPE, epoxy resin does not stick to silicone. However, the heat generated by the exothermic reaction and the chemicals in epoxy resin are very harsh to all silicone molds. Additionally, if part of your epoxy has not fully set due to improper mixing, the epoxy can become bonded to the mold. Both of these factors can lead to mold tear out when removing your piece from the mold, leading to pits and tears on the surface of the mold. This is why we a non-silicone based mold release spray is required before each pour. To help prevent tear out and to increase the life of your mold. We use the 'MG Chemicals 8329 Non-Silicone Epoxy Mold Release', 'Mann Ease Release 200' or 'Mann Ease Release 300'. Cooking spray, vaseline, silicone based sprays or sprays designed for urethane or polyester products should NEVER be used. Using a proper, non-silicone based mold release can mean the difference between getting only a couple of uses from your mold to 20, 30 or more.
