How to Make Simple Mold Housing
Did you know you can create a mold housing without special frames? Many everyday materials work just as well and deliver great results!
What Materials Can You Use?
Start by measuring your master mold, then build an enclosure that fits its size. If you want clean, professional-looking edges, the LET’S RESIN Mold Housing is a great choice (just fix it with clips).
Other reliable options include:
- Plastic or acrylic sheets
- Paper cups or plastic cups
- Tin foil
- Cookie cutters
- PVC sheets
In fact, almost any waterproof material can serve as the surround and base. The ones listed above have been tested and proven effective, making them safer bets for beginners.
Production Tips
- Seal the enclosure Use hot melt glue to firmly seal the enclosure to its base. This prevents silicone from leaking out. If your enclosure has seams or joints, reinforce them with a glue gun or tape to stop side leakage.
- Using tin foil Tin foil works, but since it tears easily, always choose a thicker grade to ensure your housing stays sturdy and leak-proof.
