Silicone Handle Blank Casting Mold Instructions

Effective August 2021

> Always read, understand and follow the instructions and

safety warnings that came with the resin you are using.

> When working with casting resins, make sure the

area is well-ventilated, wear nitrile gloves and use

an applicator. Avoid contact with skin or clothing.

Using the Mold

1. Determine how long you need your cast handle blank to be.

2. Position the T-shaped stopper in the mold at the correct

distance from the end. The mold has inch marks on the top

surface to help with this. Make sure that the stopper is tight

to all walls of the mold.

3. Mix the casting resin you will be using, closely following the

instructions that came with the product. Be aware of how

much open or work time your specific resin allows before

it begins to set.

4. Add any desired coloring, again following the instructions

specific to that product.

5. Pour the thoroughly mixed resin into the Silicone Handle

Blank Casting Mold up to the fill line on the inside of the

cavity. Fig. 1.

6. Use the technique appropriate for your type of resin to remove

bubbles from the casting – for example, a pressure pot for

urethane or a torch or other heat source for epoxy.

7. Allow the casting to cure for the time specified in the

instructions that came with your casting resin.

8. Carefully remove the stopper and flex the silicone mold

to release your handle blank. Fig. 2.

Application of a spray or brush-on mold

release is highly recommended before each casting to

prolong the life of the casting mold. Failure to use a mold

release consistently could result in scratching, tearing or

other damage to the inside of the mold while removing

the castings.

Exercise caution when using a pressure

pot or heat source.
