How large of a mold will this usually make? One large one? a few small ones? or is there a specified size reccommended?

I molded an object with a volume of 37 ounces but it took a set and 1/4 of another set of these bottles. Safe bet that if you have a model with a displacement greater than the one I did, you need two sets. Some find the simplest way is to pour rice around your model then pour the rice into measuring cups to get a better idea of how much. The hollow mold that I made was about 11.5 inches high and 4 inches in diameter with a width of 1 inch on the sides and bottom of the mold. So.. to encapsulate a volume of 37 ounces with enough material so that the mold was free standing it was a set and 1/4 of silicone at the least. My mold did not have a top though, with a top, it would have been a set and a half, no question about it.

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!

I've been using the resin to cast from molds about 1/16" to 2" deep. It actually works better on thicker pieces, so give it a try.

I don't have it right with me to weigh. But I think there were 3 bars at about 1/2 ounce each.I was able to make a mold of a stone wolf head that was 1 1/4" wide and 2 " tall by 1/2" deep using all 3 bars melted together-it came out quite well.Next time I purchase Instant Mold I would go with a larger size so I don't have to keep melting it down for different molds.

Hi, I bought a few sets of these popsicle molds as they are AMAZING! Each mold holds about 3.5 ounces (this is with leaving a little bit of space from the top for the lid). You can fill them as much or as little for a perfect popsicle each time! Enjoy,Nala

I'm still happy with mine. I have 6 molds (3 sets). Much better than the molds that are just rubber (they end up with flat spots where the sit at the bottom).

The mold measures 3 7/8 inches, but my popsicles I measured were 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 inches long. They are very difficult to get out of the mold so I don't fill them to the very top, and I lose a little from the hot water used to get them out of the mold. What will you be using them for?

The official Nordicware site says that this mold has a 10 cup capacity. There's also contact info on that site, which would allow you to ask them anything you like about using the pan. I've never actually called them, but I'm sure they'd be helpful!

I am sorry that I don't keep track--they do require A LOT of chocolate--more than the small molds, but they are always such a big hit!!. I am still perfecting the process since I am experimenting with EXACTLY how much chocolate to put in each mold because last time, the chocolate was too thick on top. I filled it about 1/2-2/3 full. It takes practice, but I then decorate the top with a squiggle of chocolate. The good thing is you can just make 1 or 2 for experiment purposes. I THINK the bark chocolate (white or chocolate sold at Wal-mart, etc) is a better deal if you are making a lot. Sorry I could not be more helpful!

I have yet to use mold release with my silicone molds but I've not done anything too big or too detailed. If I was doing something with a lot of tiny intricate details I would hit it with some mold release as opposed to risking it not turning out. I hope that helps.

I used a VERY light spray of non stick spray for my FIRST set of molds. It usually takes multiple sets to complete the finished process. After I freeze my mold for 10 minutes I flip them over to wax paper and refill the mold. I'm not sure what brand if melts you're using but I've used Wilton and I've never had an issue. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Have a great day.

I put a about a 1/4 of a cup in each and it worked fine. Makes fancy cupcakes and you will love these molds.

You will be perfectly fine casting a mold of a PVC object, though keep in mind that melting PVC and inserting it into a mold made from this product will result in both the mold and PVC combining molecularly. This is because the Instant Mold is so heat sensitive. If you need to cast in PVC or have a large original this may not be cost effective. in that case may I suggest ... http://www.instructables.com/id/Worlds-easiest-silicone-mold/This is not able to be re-cast, but will take the heat, works well for larger casts, and is inexpensive.

This mold is closer to 2 inches tall. It's also longer and thinner than 4x6. So, it's too skinny, too long and too tall for your needs.
