Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
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. We want you to continue to purchase our molds even though they might not be made and ready to ship. We manufacture in house and generally made-to-order ships within 3-7 business days, but depending on other orders can take longer. If you want an exact estimate please contact 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.
- Keep your mold turned in when unless de-molding. Never store your mold with items on top.
Do you ship internationally?
Modern Craft Labs ships worldwide. If you choose to use a freight forwarding service to ship to an international address you do so at your own risk. Please read our International Shipping Policy.
Do you sell just the casting frames?
No, we do not sell the supports separately. If your mold support is damaged please contact us with pictures.
How long will your 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. 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?
Yes! Please understand, it is your responsibility to do your own research into the mediums, ratios, and sealers that will meet your own needs. The guides on this site are provided for general information only and any reliance on the suggestions is at your own risk.
