I felt compelled to write this after the existing reviews made me hesitate buying it. I'm glad I did.
Used this mold with the
Environmental Technology 8-Ounce Kit Casting' Craft Casting Epoxy, Clear
.
On a tip from another review, before the first pour I cleaned this with soap and lightly rubbed it with an oil (camellia because it was on hand but olive oil or others could have worked) then wiped off with a paper towel. Without a releasing agent, and after 24 hours I tried to press the charms (plastic jewels?) out, but started to worry I'd bend the plastic. Placed it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes and tried again and they all came out easily.
The second and third pours I completely forgot about cleaning or oiling before but still had the same results.
I didn't expect any of the molds to come out shiny as glass. Whether cleaning up smudges or just wanting to show craftsmanship in my final product, I had planned to use my buffing compound to polish after fully cured. And that worked great! But that said, they were fairly smooth even without any polishing.
With the current price under $5 this is a good choice for beginners or those making a Christmas present.

DON'T WASTE MONEY ON THESE MOLDS
DON'T WASTE MONEY ON THESE MOLDS. MY RESIN PIECES WERE VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE, UNEVEN AND DULL!! BASICALLY, I COULD NOT RESALE/USE THE ORGONE PENDANTS I CREATED. RESIN IS EXPENSIVE. INVEST IN QUALITY SILICONE, IT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY AND FRUSTRATION IN THE END. I MADE LOVELY PIECES WITH REAL GEMSTONES THAT I LOST BECAUSE THESE MOLDS ARE SO HORRIBLE. SOME OIECRS I WAS ABLE TO SALVAGE BY SANDING AND REGLAZING. IT CREATED A LOT OF EXTRA WORK/TIME. SEE MY PICTURE. FROM THESE MOLDS,ONE GLAZED, THE DULL ONE RIGHT OUT IF THE MOLD.

If you know of a mold type or brand that I have not tried and you think is better or comparable, please comment with the link and what you like about it. I still haven't found the perfect pendant mold yet and would like to continue my search without wasting money =)
Dull, textured finish, great edges, easy to remove
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2014
First off, there is not the risk of spillover and horrible edges that there is with the Yaley deep flex molds. They are also deeper and have a bit more variety than Yaley. I have to be very careful using the Yaley molds as there is not a definitive point at which they are full due to the large curve. These molds do not have that problem, but they do have a more textured surface that makes the pieces come out looking dull. Just painting an extra layer of resin over the surface fixes any dullness though. One thing I find frustrating about reviews is that people often say "this isn't the best mold I've used" or some such similar thing, but they don't say which are better or how many others they've tried. So I've compiled a comparison list of all the molds I've tried so far based on the qualities of surface texture/sheen, ease of release, shape variety, depth, and edges:Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2014
