ComposiMold Brush-on Mold Making Technique: When a mold box isn't an option

Sometimes the shape you want to duplicate cannot be placed into a mold box to make the mold. Here we show you a brush-on mold making process using the re-usable mold making material, ComposiMold. The rose pattern was found on the back of a plastic chair and we wanted to make a chocolate from it.

So first we cleaned the chair well before placing a thin layer of ComposiMold over the shape. If necessary, use touch of vegetable oil as a mold release. The ComposiMold is melted in the microwave using the direction on the label.

The process for the brush-on mold making technique works by building up successive layers. Each layer cools prior to putting on the next layer. To make it go faster, let the ComposiMold cool so it is thicker before pouring or brushing onto your shape.

The thickness of your mold depends on what you are molding. For larger molds, build up a thicker mold to provide additional strength. The mold can also be backed up with more ComposiMold after it has been removed from your master shape.

With this Brush-on technique, you can make molds of objects hanging on walls or even upside down. The best approach for these more complex placements, is to keep the ComposiMold closer to its melting temperature of 130 F. This way the ComposiMold will be thicker and won’t drip as much.

For this rose mold, we built up approximately ¼ inch of ComposiMold. The ComposiMold mold is now carefully pulled off of the master shape on the chair. Any extra ComposiMold can be re-melted and re-used for your next mold.

The mold is now ready for casting. We used a white chocolate to make the flower.

A Chair, a flower, and chocolate. Making a mold on the go...

On our way to our first International Cake Exploration Society Annual Show in Kentucky, we were stopped at a hotel with  some interesting plastic chairs along the pool’s edge. 

Having some time to spare, we decided to experiment with our favorite mold making material, ComposiMold…

We had everything we needed:  a chair with a pretty flower design on it, some ComposiMold, and a microwave in our room.

We melted the ComposiMold and coated the rose on the back of the chair. ComposiMold as a brush-on or paint-on mold works great by letting the ComposiMold cool after you have melted it. As it begins to solidify it will become thicker and so you will only need a few layers of ComposiMold to make your mold. Thin layers of ComposiMold also cool faster than the entire tub of ComposiMold, so you can do several layers without having to remelt the container.

So we brushed on the ComposiMold…(after we cleaned/washed the chair!)

Let it cool…

Peeled the mold it off the chair...

Our mold was finished and ready for casting. We poured in some melted chocolate and made a nice white chocolate rose from a chair!

The ComposiMold was then re-melted and off we were back on the road…cool experiment and fun.
