Are the insides of the molds shiny or flat (looking to use them with resin)? Thanks!

I suppose I would say they have a satin sheen. Not very shiny but just a little. They are made of a soft flexible silicone. Would probably do great with resin. I personally have used one of these with hot lead and it worked great. didn't damage the cube tray at all. I have no experience with resin, you may have to use a spray on mold release first.

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.

They are plastic. The the stick side kids hold are perfect size for little hands, and the end that goes in the mold is short so I don't worry about the kids choking on it when they get to the end of their pops.

They are very nice chrome type metal. I only use mine in my art room indoors. I would suggest if using in a wet environment to test one first.

both are good. Gloss resin will require you to buff the "blush" off - in order to bring up the gloss on the finish but the finish will be beautiful. Casting resin can give quite a nice finish without buffing. Gloss resin will have a slight blue-green tint to it if poured deep (&gt;1/8"). Casting resin will be water-clear at most any depth

No. They are shiny from the wood. I am very happy with my set and they look wonderful in my living room. I am getting ready to order the sofa table for my birthday.

They are as shiny inside as they are outside, but not with that dark coating that eventually wears off and gets into your food, while your pans rust out. I am very, very happy with all the USA pans I purchased, as I too hate dark, non-stick, pans of any kind. Hope this helps you!

Hey PT, I bought these diamond molds specifically for making truffles. This mold is perfect. The size is good and my truffles looked store bought. They have always tasted good but this is the first time they have looked so good. Let me know how it turns out.Teresa

I have not used them all yet. But they appear fairly flat. The only one of the nine that is glossy is Charcoal Gloss

They are just clear plastic (shaped like cut glass) with a silver paint on the bottom to make them shine. You get what you pay for, lol.

these are satin black. not glossy at all but not flat like a primer either. they may shine up a little with polishing compound or an oil rub. hmmm I'll have to try that as well.

I think these in particular are good only for cookies. they are made out of hard plastic that cuts the general shape of the cookie and then you "stamp" the skull face onto the cookie dough. the patter is kind of shallow. I have seen some silicon cookie molds that would work better for resin.

They are the shiny finish. One good trip through the dishwasher can help that finish go away. Be careful. We loved them for the holidays and our guests were stunned by them!

I have used this mold several times now and there was no problem getting the resin out. Hope this helps!

No. These are bitter-sweet chocolates. I was disappointed in these because I followed the directions to the letter, but the chocolate stuck to my molds and I had to use hot water to wash the whole mess down the sink. If you want to mold candy, just go to the crafts store or Walmart and buy that chocolate for a lot less.

They seem to be clean. Honestly, it did not occur to me to wash them because of their appearance but I did use them primarily for baking. I'll try them in water for a change of pace so thank you for that tip!

They are "accordian" style. Need to keep them clean or you will find mold forming.
