Do I put this object on the item I'm encasing in the mold? Or on the outside of the completed mold? Or both?

That is not a mold release spray and does not go on the mold at all, anywhere. This is a clear resin finishing spray that you spray on your finished cast piece.

I wouldn't do that. I would take a moment to dry it first. I think it would take a very long time for it to dry with all the plastic "fingers" surrounding it. It would encourage mold and bacteria to grow.

No, it stuck to the mold. I wish I could find the original one's I ordered.....those worked great!

Depending on what your items are, you could reposition the light as C. Kotz has suggested, or use one of the clear or white angled display boards to hold your piece. If your item is light weight you could use a rig with clear fishing line to hold you work up. This could then be edited out using a graphics program. I have some ornaments I took photos of and use an ornament hanger and then edited out the cord used to hang them.

You can actually do either option. There are loads of tutorials online on how to make all sorts of boxes, gift bags and even Box-a-lopes with your scoreboard. This is one of those I can not live without items in my Stash.

Yes indeed you can. Actually that is its most common use. I would recommend using a little bit of mold releasing compound if you are going to be casting detailed pieces. I average about 15 really good resin pieces from my molds when using this product.

There are holes drilled on the top for the molding to go around the back and sides. It's a little hard to see in the picture. There are holes drilled for the label plaques. You can get stickers with the finish on them to cover the holes if you would like.

I frosted the side where the two molds meet. The mold is designed with a base that is definitely strong enough to support the weight of the rest of the cake. It was fairly easy. I'd like to add that I did not use any recipe that came with it (I didn't even look for one), but made a sugar free yellow cake with bananas. It held up great for me, even through my clumbsy frosting work.

Yes, you would have to stand them up--I don't think the molds are meant to be tipped and layed on its side...I think you would have frozen puddle in your freezer--not fun to clean up.

What probably happened was that the two halves contracted in the cold before it melded into a solid mold. Leave the filled mold sit at room temperature for an hour or so before you plop it in the freezer.

What I bought was a mold to pour chocolate into. I don't have the actual item anymore, it was a gift for someone, but it was definitely a mold to put the chocolate into.

The rod should be on the side of the box, in its own slot on the side.I don't know why this seller is doing this, he did the same to me, he leaves the rod out. The rod is the most expensive part of the toy and it upset me that he left it out. Apparently he is doing it to other customers as well. I was not able to get a replacement rod from him but if you call Amazon they will refund your money.

The mold should be strong enough to hold the guard to the top teeth when properly formed. The bottom of mine has a slight impression from where my bottom teeth hit the mold in the processing.

You only need the accelerator if you want the glue to set immediately. If you have to physically hold the piece in place, I would use the accelerator.

Don't try. Ive used both and Both form with heat so even if they don't fuse there will be serious deformation bordering on pointless. Instant mold is great for epoxy putty(I use it for gunpla parts, duping custom Lego elements, replicating broken items(etc.)) and the occasional resin cast if its simple and low detail. Sorry for going off topic. I wouldn't recommend it.

I have not done this yet, but plan on it. Apparently having clear water, boiling it, etc. does not matter that much in the big picture. Controlling the freezing from the top down...where water essentially pushes the "not-clear-parts" downward...is the most crucial part. So if you fill a pot of water, submerge this style of mold then turn it upside down, and pull it out of the water with the opening still in contact with the bigger body of water, and finally use a wire to keep it in that position while freezing...you should get a clear sphere. If you need a visual of this, search "alcademics" where I saw this and you can get a step by step.
