Questions and Answers
When will my order ship?
Orders generally ship next business day but can take up to 3-10 business days depending on the size of the order. International orders, please add 2-3 days processing time. If you want an exact estimate pleasecontact us.
How do I care for my mold?
- Sharp edges, including fingernails, can slice or tear your mold.
- Exposing the casting frame to temperatures over 100 F will warp or distort the frame. This includes sunlight.
- Frames and silicone are not dishwasher safe.
- When de-molding, please gently work the mold from the casting. While silicone stretches, over stretching can cause tears.
- Clean your mold after each use with warm soapy water, this removes any residue left by the casting medium. Wipe dry.
- Always keep your molds turned in unless de molding. Never store your mold with items on top.
Do you ship international?

Where can I purchase casting frames?

How long will my mold last?
We use high quality platinum cure silicone. While we use the highest quality materials the physical life of the mold depends on how you use it and how often. We will offer technical assistance when we can but please understand that there are variables outside of our control to guarantee our product will work for a specific application, medium, or length of time. If you are planning to use our molds in a production setting, please know your silicone molds are consumable items. Silicone molds do age over time, this includes shrinking. It is your responsibility to research fully the medium you plan to use including strength, needed ratio, ease of use and impact on the silicone.
Can I sell my castings?
