Lowest Cost Mold Making. Geeky Jewelry I Love Pi Necklace








Here’s  a cute geeky “I Love Pi” necklace. www.composimold.com

We’re going to make this into a red necklace and also a glow in the dark necklace.
The shape is printed on a 3D printer. Place your jewelry in a mold box. Anything will do. I’m recycling a plastic container. Aluminum foil also works well. Use hot glue or a piece of clay to hold down your object.
Spray your part with Bubble Buster to reduce surface tension so the bubbles will escape. I didn’t have to but some 3D prints are very porous, so you might need to seal the part with shellac or white glue. 

Melt the ComposiMold in the microwave for a minute or so depending on how much you need. Pour the ComposiMold as it starts to cool. You want it to be a thick honey-like pourable rubber for best results. If it’s too hot to handle it’s too hot to pour, so let it cool.

Don’t worry about how you pour it. Fill up over your part. Let it cool. Put it in the freezer to solidify faster.

Pull out the mold and the original. Mix up the resin, add colorants if you like. The first casting we’re making is a red pi necklace. The second one is a glow in the dark necklace. Maybe we could also make this with thermochromic colors to change colors at different temperatures. 

We’re making this resin necklace with a reusable molding material called ComposiMold. It works great with the ComposiCast Epoxy Resin and the molding material can be remelted to make over 35 different molds. Yes, 35 custom molds. Any time you want. 
This ComposiCast Epoxy Resin has a working time of about 45 minutes and cures in 10 to 14 hours.

Let the resin cure. Pull your resin jewelry out. Tada. Clean up the edges and you have the your I love Pi Necklack. 

You can make another necklace, or remelt the mold to make a new shape. How many shapes? Way more than 35 custom molds you can make yourself. No extra money. No extra material. 

The molding material is non-toxic. Have fun. Experiment. And subscribe to our channel for more cool videos.

Thank you and enjoy.
