Mini Dice Silicone Mold 8mm

I love it! I really do, its *almost* perfect.

It just comes with zero instructions on how to use it.

How much resin do i need? I was using the a b mix kind, so knowing how much is just a little important. I watched the video after my attempt, because I wanted to see how bad a newbie like me was going to do.

I figured out the rubber band trick only because I've done NerdECrafter's not another crap kit and needed them for that to not leak. I already had some pipettes things to try to fill the holes, kinda worked.

I am not the happiest, i think i used like 6 ml and it was to much? poured the rest into the wings i also bought.

for my next attempt I plan on filling each side and letting that set before putting it together.

the video though was kinda nice, yall showed inperections and how to deal with it.

I just really wish that pref with the dice you get written instructions for how much you need for the set, or on the website you have somewhere easy access of how much each mold needs.

But i do love it and going to try again

This is one of the most adorable molds I have in my collection. The dice are unimaginably small! The mold is really well-made, and of a very high shore silicone. I love the way the two halves come together specifically at the seams of the dice so they don’t appear quite as prominent, and the fact that it opens in half to begin with is great if you want to put something small into these dice. I even made a teeny tiny liquid core! That said, I have yet to get a D4 where the numbers have lined up correctly and aren’t halfway off the face, and there’s next to no margin of error when it comes to how much pressure is needed to hold the mold together. It definitely needs something, because otherwise the mold just comes apart and resin leaks everywhere. I’d say you could avoid that by using UV resin and just holding it, but the mold is a little too opaque for UV light to penetrate—my results were rough and tacky even with an 86w UV lamp. So you need to rubber band it together to use with 2-part resin, but if you use too much pressure, your dice will have a ridge kind of like a little muffin top along the seam. And the number wells oh really just etched, so they’re not deep enough to support sanding to correct it. (Not that you would want to try and sand something so tiny anyway!) I found good success with large hair elastics, but it would be nice if something perfectly sized were included with the mold. I’m happy with my full priced purchase, but I’d recommend buying it on sale or at…
