This is perhaps one of the most unique, if not the most unique resin art molds we offer here at Crafted Elements. The "Large Wave Tray" silicone mold is designed to cast 14.5x11.5x1.75" solid resin / concrete / plaster / Jesmonite decorative trays that look like a cross section of a wavy ocean.
The wave texture on the interior surface of the mold slopes inwards on all four sides, creating a bowl that is approximately 1 3/8" deep at the lowest point. The overall thickness of the tray including the bottom/floor is 1.75"
The castings out of this mold are truly a statement piece that will become the focal point of any room they are placed in. This is functional art at is best, as the bowl / tray is sizeable enough to use as a catch-all or simply as a decorative tray to hold decorative objects.
This mold is quite heavy due to the amount of silicone used to create the "void" for the bowl area. As such, it uses a large amount of silicone material (about 8lbs of platinum cure silicone), which its price reflects.
Our RSCC line of silicone molds are crafted with artists, makers and bakers in mind. While RSCC stands for resin, soap, candy and chocolate they can also be used with plaster, acrylic resin/Jesonite, concrete and other popular pourable materials.
These are not your run of the mill $10 mass produced and imported molds you'll find on many shopping sites. The custom tooling (blanks) and silicone molds are all made one-by-one, by hand at our facility in Ontario, Canada. We use the highest grade platinum cure silicone, which surpasses the quality and standards of regular food grade silicone. Our silicone is cured with platinum, not peroxide making it safer for use in food and medical applications. We make our molds incredibly thick, to ensure they are self supporting and won't bend or deform when full of your material. Every artist, maker or baker who gets one of our molds immediately acknowledges the quality difference and can justify the cost difference.
Please remember that if you are using silicone molds with epoxy resin or other corrosive or abrasive chemical that you need to use a mold release before pouring your resin. We recommend a non-silicone based release such as the MG Chemicals 8329 or Mann Ease Release 200/300. Using a proper release will extend the life of your mold and help to prevent mold tear-out.
