MOLD PRESS CONSUMABLES

The following consumables are required to use the Mold Press machine:

• Powder mould release: great way to ensure easy removal of your materials from moulds thanks to its antistatic power.
• Liquid mould release: helps to smooth out wrinkles or any other detail caused by the moulding process.
• Replacement plastic sheets to create the moulds.

TIPS & TRICKS

• Create moulds of different shapes and fill them with resin to make rings, earrings and pendants.
• Make blister packs for your products in the shape of the product you want to wrap. Use the Fuse Tool (Ref. 927698) to seal and cut the corners of the blister, including a hole to hang it in displays. Insert a piece of cardboard with your brand name inside the blister for unique and original packaging.
• If you want to make several moulds at the same time, place the objects well separated to get a clean mould.
• If the plastic sticks to the object, use the powder to remove it easily.
• Apply the liquid mould release to touch up the corners and remove any wrinkles. The machine needs to be on and the plastic hot to do so.
• To improve the result of your mould, keep pressure on the frames while it is being created.
• Wearing gloves is highly advisable when using the machine.
