Which ComposiMold Reusable Mold Making Material Should You Use?

Let's make one thing clear! We do not want to confuse you! Currently, ComposiMold comes in four heat-and-pour varieties and we've just released a putty version too! So which one do you choose when it's time to make your project? It depends on your preferred casting materials or your preferred casting technique. Here's a quick guide to help you find the right material for you!

Casting Materials
Soft Casting Materials ie.chocolate, wax, soap: ComposiMold-Flex
Edible Casting Materials: ComposiMold-FC (All Heat and Pour Materials are food contact safe)
Polymer Clay OR Fondant for push molding: ComposiMold Firm
Plastic, Epoxy, Urethane/Plaster, Concrete, ComposiStone: ComposiMold-Original 


Casting Technique
Push Molding: ComposiMold-Firm

If you'd rather use a material that you can press onto your master object, instead of pouring over your master object, choose ReMold Putty. This material works great with higher temperature casting materials and for making molds of objects that cannot be moved to a mold box.

ComposiMold-FC is specifically made for casting Edible Treats! Now you can make your own chocolate molds! Think of it as 35 unique molds for the price of one silicone mold. Remember, it's remeltable and reusable, food contact safe, and perfect for chocolates, fondants, gum paste, and more.

ComposiMold-Firm For Push Molds

Specially formulated for push molds. ComposiMold-Firm has a Shore A hardness of about 20-25 at room temperature and works great for polymer clay push molds or conventional clay push molds. Some cake artists also prefer the stiffer molding material for fondant push molds.

ComposiMold-Flex Flexible Molds for Soft Casting Materials

Designed for those who want a more flexible mold. ComposiMold-Flex is perfect for chocolate, waxes, soaps, and other soft casting materials. The ComposiMold-Flex allows you to pull the mold away from the soft casting material without damaging or breaking your creation.

The Science of Why We Can Pour Hot Casting Materials into Cold ComposiMold

Making a mold with ComposiMold is easy. Simply, bring the temperature of ComposiMold above 135 F and pour! To solidify, just cool to room temperature.

Due to thermoconductivity, you can still use casting materials in this mold that are above 135 F and they won't destroy your mold. Rubbers, such as ComposiMold, have low thermoconductivity. This means it takes longer for the heat to travel from hot casting materials into the ComposiMold mold. The hot materials will set up before heating the ComposiMold.

You can actually pour casting materials into ComposiMold up to about 180 F even though ComposiMold melts at about 135 F. You can do this by chilling the ComposiMold mold first. For example, beeswax makes a great candle, but it melts at 145 F, so you need to cool the.ComposiMold mold by placing the mold in the refrigerator or freezer and then pouring in the melted beeswax.

So by chilling the ComposiMold, it takes much longer for the mold's temperature to reach its melting point. However, if you chill it to 30 F, it must heat up over 100 degrees before it melts.

The casting material, such as the wax or soap, only has to drop its temperature a few degrees before it begins to solidify. Also, waxes and soaps cool from the outside to the inside (unlike metals that cool from inside/out). So as they cool you create a barrier of wax that also helps protect the ComposiMold.

Be sure to chill the mold prior to each casting made. This will ensure that your mold doesn't get destroyed and that your mold making and casting experience is a success.
