Create incredible epoxy resin, wood and resin or Jesmonite wine storage racks with the help of this wine bottle rack silicone mold by Crafted Elements. Use this mold to create two pieces, one for each side of the wine rack. The size bottle openings are 3.75" in diameter.
The three raised posts in the mold create three 1/2" diameter, 3/8" deep holes in your resin. Use these holes as receivers to glue or epoxy rods in between the two sides of the wine rack. We recommend using 1/2" diameter wood dowels, hollow brass tubing or aluminum tubing. Cut the dowels or tubing down to between 4-7" in length, depending on the total depth you want your wine rack to be. Glue or epoxy them into the matching holes in each of the two wine rack sides you created with the mold. This will effectively create one solid freestanding wine bottle holder.
The depth of this mold is 1" and although you do not need to fill the mold entirely, it is recommended your cast pieces are at least 3/4" thick. This will ensure sufficient support for holding full wine bottles and providing adequate depth to accommodate the holes that accept the dowels or tubing that you choose to use.
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.
