Minnie Mouse Birthday Candle

One of the best features of ComposiMold, Reusable Mold Making Material, is that it is transparent. You can easily see your original object through the mold. If the shape of your part is a little too complicated to pull right out of the mold, you can make some cuts down the side. These are called parting lines and they can be strategically placed to run down the sides or back of your final figurine.

When making your parting lines, be sure to leave a portion of the mold intact so the parts of the mold that have been cut can easily line back up when you are on to making your castings later.

You can see in this video we made of a Minnie Mouse Birthday Candle, that we cut the mold 2 times, thus creating a faux 3 part mold. It's easy to line the cut pieces back together to apply tape. This method makes it super easy to pull the delicate candle out of the mold as soon as the Soy Candle Wax is cooled and complete!

Enjoy!

What Did We Mold Today Video Series, Day 3

Hello ComposiMold Makers! Today's project was casted with two different casting materials: ComposiStone, our special cement formulation, and Soy Candle Wax. 

ComposiStone is our unique formulation that works great in a ComposiMold mold. Composi-Stone is harder than plaster castings yet still smoother than cement casts. The system uses a Dry mix and water at a ratio of 2.5 parts powder to 1 part water; and not less than 2 parts powder to 1 part water by weight or volume. It solidifies to a beautiful light Gray color. The texture is similar to a cement feel, but much smoother in appearance. Composi-Stone is ideal for shelf and lawn ornaments, sculptures, craft parts, and other general applications. You'll see a great close up shot in the video!

Soy Candle Wax is perfect for candle making in a ComposiMold mold. It has a soft creamy texture and is an eco-friendly wax! It's made from pure 100% soybeans and botanical oils.The Soy Candle Wax has a melting Point of 122F. To use it in your ComposiMold mold, melt the candle making wax to 122-155 F. Be sure to let it cool until the wax is below 120F before pouring into your ComposiMold mold. We think it's pretty cool to be able to turn almost any object into a candle!

Note: Being able to use dozens of casting materials in your ComposiMold mold is one it's greatest features. Just be sure not to use your mold for food items after you've used it for cements and candles. That would not taste very good...and there's the safety issue.
