See Shaping Epoxy in Action

Explore our gallery to view creative resin pieces shaped with silicone moulds and specialist spatulas. Notice the smooth edges, glossy surface, and unique forms you can achieve with careful preparation and the right tools. Each project highlights the versatility of high-quality epoxy resin moulds.

Step 1: Organise Your Workspace and Prepare for Safety

Organise your workspace and gather your safety equipment before handling epoxy resin. Resin can be sticky and somewhat messy; work on a well-ventilated, flat surface protected by a disposable covering. Wear nitrile gloves, an apron, and a respirator mask to shield your skin and lungs from fumes and accidental splashes.

Organise all tools in advance. Silicone moulds should be clean, dry, and free of lint. Wipe with a little ethanol if needed. Resin should only be mixed and poured in environments with low humidity and stable temperature (ideally 18–25°C).

Step 3: Pour into Your Chosen Mould

Pour the resin into your preferred mould slowly and steadily, starting in one spot to avoid trapping air. Use a flexible silicone mould, such as the “Silicone Circle Mould” – For Creating with Epoxy Resin, Ø 20cm, for round shapes, or the “Silicone Heart Mould” – For Creating with Epoxy Resin, 19.5 x 16.5cm, for a heart-shaped design. Make sure the mould is level and not overfilled. Tap your mould gently to help bubbles surface and release trapped air.

If you wish to add decorative elements (such as dried flowers or glitter), place them in the mould before pouring or embed them in layers for a three-dimensional effect.

Step 5: Allow Resin to Cure Completely Before Removing

Allow for full curing before removing your piece from the mould. Let your resin cure undisturbed, following the recommended time (typically 24–72 hours, depending on the resin used and room conditions). Premature demoulding can distort shapes and damage the finish. Once fully set, gently flex the silicone mould to release your finished item, revealing crisp edges and a professional sheen.

After demoulding, any rough edges can be carefully sanded if needed. Clean your silicone moulds with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh solvents to ensure their longevity.
