This listing is for leather-tooled Hibiscus Flower teardrop earring flexible mold. Finished piece measures approximately 1-1/4W x 2-1/8H & is approximately 1/16 thickness. This is for the mold only. Any embellishment or jewelry sample is for display purposes only. IMPORTANT!! Please read all information on molds prior to ordering from my Shop. All WellsMade molds are made using silicone putty. Over the past few years I have acquired a special method in making molds perfect for casting. All molds are quality checked prior to shipping to confirm they are in perfect condition. Please examine your mold upon receipt & prior to use to verify there are no pre-existing damages. If there are any concerns regarding your mold, please contact before using. Using silicone molds can be an easy process, but requires special attention to a few factors & I will do my best to cover these areas to make your casting process easier & to achieve great results. Due to the release of heat (exotherm) of resin & the damage it can cause if not used properly, I will no longer be refunding for damaged molds resulting from improper use of resin. WellsMade ORIGINALS Any listing that is a WellsMade hand-made original will be noted accordingly. These items are not without slight flaws or imperfections, which adds to the character of the finished piece. You are more than welcome to use these molds to create your own jewelry for personal use or to re-sell. However, you do not have the right to re-create & re-sell these molds under your personal or business name. If you do create jewelry of your own from these molds to sell, if you could be so kind as to mention WellsHandMade as the place you found the molds. Have fun! PRODUCT All molds are used with a silicone mold-making putty & is excellent in mold making castings with media such as polymer clay, precious metal clay, resin, soap, wax, plaster, chocolate, sugar, fondant, & even ice. FOOD COMPLIANT Mold putty complies with FDA 21 CFF 177.2600 & can be used safely in contact with food. It is highly recommended to allocate molds intended for food use to only be used for food & no other casting material to prevent contamination. DEMOLDING/MOLD LIFE Mold life expectancy is a variable of many different factors; length of time media is in the mold, release of heat (exotherm) of resin being used, intricacies of the detail in the mold, the force needed to demold, etc. Even with these factors, there are some things you can do to get the most out of your molds & extend the life: 1. Use mold release such as Stoner Mold Release Spray or Alumilite UMR Mold Release, cornstarch, baby oil & with some molds, isopropyl alcohol. If using molds for food applications, use a food-grade release agent such as Pam cooking spray. 2. Avoid leaving castings in the molds any longer then they need to (especially overnight). With resin, due to release of heat (exotherm), remove castings as soon as they have cooled/cured. 3. Fondant or Polymer Clay tip: Once
