Do these molds make complete pieces at a time or 2 halves of a piece that must be melted together later?

Two halves of a piece to be melted together later. I made one half then when making the second half, I put the already made half on top and let that harden together. It saved the putting them together later step. It worked well for me. Good luck! :)

the latter. And as I recall the molds do not come with enough pawns so you have to make extra if you are going to have an accurate set

You mold the first halves, and when they've hardened, you pop them out of the mold, (they come out super easy) refill the molds and gently press the molded halves on top, and then re-chill, the finished product are very impressive three dimensional chess pieces. Ghirardelli chocolate bars worked wonderfully. I made these for my son's groom cake, wish I could attach a picture, it was stunning, and so easy. Half pieces worked well pressed onto squares of 'reserved cake'.

These make halves. What I did was filled it in with melted chocolate and froze the chocolate until completely solid then empty the halves out. I then filled it again and put the frozen pieces on top of the liquid melted chocolate halves that are in the tray. Froze them. Done. You end up with whole pieces. Just make sure you line it up carefully. You may need to trim the edges to be smooth.

Two halves. Although I just use the halves as they are, it still looks cool on a cake chessboard.

2 halves. I pasted them together with some melted chocolate (then nutella when I ran out of chocolate). They looked great!

Yes, but it doesn't take very long. I put 2 of them together in about 10 minutes. Longest part was unwrapping each part.

Heating, pouring, jelling took about an hour as I recall. Could heat and fill molds and then eat cake before unmolding. Might need a few rounds to let each kid have a turn. This could be accomplished using microwave/extra molds.

Hello,These are individual and not molded together. Thank you for your inquiry!Ann

If you mean can you reuse the mold you make with it then the answer is yes, many times. If you mean can you make a mold and then reuse the same putty to make a new mold then the answer is no. Once the putty hardens it can no longer be reshaped.

I think the manufacturer of the mold should address this. I used the WILTON Candy Melts and you don't heat that very hot. When I make hard candy, the liquid is very hot and I would be very concerned the mold would melt.

Yes, I mix Flex Coat 2 part epoxy in them all the time. There is only one catch though, I pour the resin in one cup and the hardener is another cup. I tried pouring both parts in the same cup, but discovered that the cup measurements are not accurate, so I started using 2 cups each time I mix and that assures me accurate parts.

The majority of this is several solid chunks, however there are pieces also. You can press or ball it yourself if the pieces come apart.

It can be re-melted and divided, but consistency changes. I was not happy with this product at all and it did not behave like pure soap that we make, either in storage or re-batch. It molds and changes consistency and/or texture. In my experience, best best is to cut it only and use it quickly. Did not hold up well to normal soap storage in a lump or cut.

Yes, the cubes do. They're speed cubes, although if you're used to another speed cube the 3x3 maybe be a little sluggish. The 2x2 will sort of jam occasionally because an internal piece comes out of place. The easiest way to fix this is to push the piece or if you can't, use a flathed screwdriver to push the internal component in. If it comes apart, it is hard to put back together but if you look to put in a hole part of the piece first you will only need to use brute force. The 3x3 comes fairly tight, so there are few pops. The 4x4 and 5x5 jam occasionally or a piece pops out. If a piece pops out, it's easy to put it back in. If it gets jammed, you may have to disassemble part of it. Reassembly of the 5x5 is easy, but you need to be careful. I have not opened up the 4x4 yet.

Make sure you completly combine both parts (quickly) and pour it into or onto evenly. I mixed and poured in small batches. Have lots of stirring sticks and mixing cups!

When I did it I poured my chocolate into each of the molds and let it set. After it was firmly set, I popped them out of the mold. Then I warmed up a small skillet and carefully held the chocolate with the flat side out and touched it to the pan just long enough to get the chocolate melted enough I could then place another chocolate shell on it to make it fully 3D

Don't try. Ive used both and Both form with heat so even if they don't fuse there will be serious deformation bordering on pointless. Instant mold is great for epoxy putty(I use it for gunpla parts, duping custom Lego elements, replicating broken items(etc.)) and the occasional resin cast if its simple and low detail. Sorry for going off topic. I wouldn't recommend it.

Not easy....usually with a hacksaw or an axe. I just usually cut them in half, not small pieces...

I had a similar problem...I made the mold on plastic on a flat surface, my driveway. Then I broke apart the squares into the 8 separate pieces and like a jigsaw puzzle arranged them till I finally got them to fir

I think we had to either chissel the mold or rip the mold apart to get the finished product out, u get two tries
