How to Use the Chess Silicone Mold (Step-by-Step)

1. Prepare the mold
   Clean and dry the mold thoroughly to remove dust or residue.

2. Mix your casting material
   Prepare epoxy resin, plaster, cement, or clay according to manufacturer instructions.

3. Add colour or effects
   Mix in resin pigments, alcohol inks, mica powders, glitter, or crushed stones for unique finishes.

4. Pour or press carefully
   Fill each chess piece cavity slowly to avoid air bubbles.

5. Release trapped air
   Gently tap the mold on a flat surface. For resin, use a heat gun briefly if needed.

6. Allow to cure or set
   Leave the mold undisturbed until fully hardened (resin may take 24–48 hours).

7. Demold gently
   Flex the silicone outward to release each chess piece cleanly.

8. Finish your pieces
   Sand lightly, polish, or seal for a refined final look.

Cleanup and Storage Tips

• Wash the mold with mild soap and warm water after use

• Avoid sharp tools that may cut or damage the silicone

• Dry completely before storage

• Store flat or upright in a cool, dry place

• Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve elasticity

Proper care ensures long-term usability and consistent casting results.
