Product Description
Tea Cup 3D Silicone Mould
This mould includes 3 sizes of tea/coffee cups! You can mould these shapes using metal clay, polymer clay and other moulding clays, and even resin!
This particular mould comes in 3 parts, the left and right hand side of the mugs and domed top section which creates the mug shape that is empty inside.
To use with metal clay:
- Fill both sides of the the mould with wet clay, ensure the clay is pushed in all the way down into the shape. The mould is transparent so it makes it easy to check, simply turn it over and ensure it is completely filled and there are no air bubbles.
- Leave to dry in the mould. Be patient with the drying! It takes longer than you think to dry whilst in the mould, as the heat only gets in from the top. If you try to pull the moulded shapes out too soon, you'll wreck or distort the shape. We recommend drying for over 24 hours in a warm dry room. You can speed it up by putting the mould in a dehydrator or toaster oven (keep the temperature under 90C).
- Once dry, gently push the pieces out of the mould, if you are creating a 3D shape take both sides and secure them together with some Art Clay Paste.
