We've all made epoxy forms using plywood and tape - but between the cost, time, and single use - it leaves something to be desired. KJP carries a reusable HMWPE (High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) pre-made resin mold that will solve all these problems! These reusable NO-LEAK Molds are designed with the DIY’er and Weekend Warrior in mind; they are very affordable for someone just starting off in the epoxy world.
Simply tap the sides, turn the form over and tap the back with a mallet and watch your creation pop out of the mold. The sides are fabricated at a 7 degree to allow your project to drop out.
Place form flat on a work table, do not have it elevated (Blocks, saw horses, clamps). If elevated the form will bow due to the epoxy heating up and expanding the HMWPE.
Key features:
Don't forget to use our HDPE Clamping blocks to hold down your wood!
Instructions
1. We always recommend flattening your wood before starting any epoxy project.
2. Place the piece(s) into the form in your desired design/pattern.
3. Secure the wood down using something heavy or use clamps.
4. Mix and pour your epoxy
5. Once your epoxy is fully cured (time depends on epoxy type/brand) flip the form upside down and use a rubber mallet to tap the bottom and middle of side walls to release your pour.
6. That's it! Easy!
Place form flat on a work table and clamp down to it as your reference surface; do not have it elevated (blocks, saw horses, clamps). If elevated the form will bow due to the epoxy heating up and expanding the HDPE.
The molds (12x24 and 24x48) are good quality products. They work just fine as they are supposed to however they do require a bit of adjustment for first try. For example the base is not the same size as top edges so you need to calculate some room for wood or item to fit the molds. This is purely due to material of the mold and the fact that its a one piece no leak. I got my measurements right after a couple fit trial and it works just fine. Don't put your items too tight, the material does not bend and you will have a hard time demoling.
I gave a 5 star because overall i'm super satisfied and they are very affordable comparing to other competitors. I wish they would have additional sizes.
No-Leak Resin Mold
My first time doing an epoxy poor. The silicone mold worked great and my charcuterie board turned out great. Clean-up was super easy with the mold
