How would I make a two part mold with this? Would I just coat the first side with vasaline?

I used a thin layer of hand soap, it worked fine. I guess Vaseline also works.

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

I don't think so. This product is a do it yourself mold kit. After you make your own mold (they have step by step instructions) you send it back in to them and they make a new retainer from your mold and send that back to you. It is pretty easy. I was very happy with this product. It is a much less expensive way to get a new retainer. Please note that this is only to make 1 mold, either upper or lower, not both. If you want both, that kit is around $60.

Two pieces what I did was I put a drop of hot glue on the bottom part just so that we do not have any acciedents. Rinse and use. I used for my wedding I put two grapes and champagne people really enjoy.

I use 2 part epoxy. Mix the color in the resin before mixing in the Hardner. Make sure to use equal parts of resin and hardner.

What probably happened was that the two halves contracted in the cold before it melded into a solid mold. Leave the filled mold sit at room temperature for an hour or so before you plop it in the freezer.

Hi Larry, WHen I ordered this product I was able to make the bath bombs by cutting out two of the sides and pressing together. It was by far the best product I have found so far to make them-- hope this helps!

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

It's just one mold that makes half-spheres. I did have to order another one when I discovered this. They don't connect perfectly, so you might find you need to clamp them together while the bath bombs dry (I've had marginal success using bulldog clips) Cheers!

As a Baker and a soaper who owns this pan, I would recommend against using it as a mold. The inside dimensions are approximately 7X3X3 (that's not precise, I'm about 850 miles from home right now). You would be much better off making your own bath soap mold from wood, lining it with heavy plastic, and pouring your entire batch in, then cutting it when it's solid but not yet cured. You can make guide cuts into the wood (it winds up looking similar to a miter box) and then simply slide and cut your batch into the individual bars. Yes, it sounds like a pain, but it's equally as easy as pouring each bar into it's own mold and also there is less splatter when you drop a wooden box. These pans are very floppy and even if you back it with a cookie sheet, it is still difficult to properly settle it.

Yes, that's what I used. I added food coloring also. I had the best luck using a double boiler with the candy melts. The texture was more consistent & flowed into the molds. Make sure the molds are thoroughly cooled before trying to remove candy from molds. Have fun!!

Yes it's extremely easy. You dust the inside of the mold with corn starch, knock out the excess, put the fondant in, put the mold in the freezer until the fondant is hard, then pop the baby out of the mold, set it on wax paper, and don't touch it until it dries. After it's dry you can dust it with petal dust or paint it or decorate it however you wish. I've used this twice now, once on a gerbera daisy and once on a crescent moon cutout with fluffy buttercream clouds. Both were huge hits. This is a great mold, you won't regret buying it.

I double coat both sides with a scoop coated. I get about 7 or 8 from a bottle. You don't need to coat both sides so you should get a dozen or so. You will also use a lot more if you try to squeegee coat em instead of using a scoop coater

I haven't used the generic molds because the sugar veil molds fold back and are easy to release the lace. When I use the oil spray on molds, the lace is the color of the spray. Generic molds require oil spay. I think it would be great to try one and see how it works. Then please let the rest of us know. I have had good results with the sugar veil molds. They are expensive.

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! :)

Just let it melt at room tempreture for 20 or 30 minutes, squeeze the mold back together sealing properly and re-freeze. The melted water fills the cracks and it comes out smooth without cracks. Use distilled water for best results.

For best results, you should use a topcoat. I used two coats of Polyacrylic topcoat by General Finishes.
