Custom version of our standard 7/8" x 5-1/4" x 7/8" HDPE Blank Mold with a 1/8" slot to cast laminate, colored wood, or other segmenting material of your choice measuring 1/8" by 5-1/4" into the pen blank (not included). The end slots hold the material in place when casting the rest of the blank, as seen in the Thin Line blank pen blanks.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a polyethylene thermoplastic, used in the production of plastic bottles and cutting boards. HDPE is considered more durable and safer than PVC. We use HDPE to make an alternative to our blue silicone molds, and it is available in most standard single blank or block sizes, as well in custom order dimensions.
Our CNC machined design can be fully disassembled and prevents screws from stripping threads which commonly happens in home-made molds.
Cast Dimensions: 7/8" square by 5-1/4" long and holds slightly less than the 90 grams for a full 7/8" square by 5-1/4" blank.
Due to the nature of products used to create various casting molds and resin options, we cannot guarantee initial castings will produce a totally bubble / blemish free, glass-like finish. Depending on the casting project involved, there are usually secondary finishing efforts required, such as turning on a lathe, sanding, buffing, polishing, and/or applying a final leveling resin coat to achieve a perfectly clear, smooth exterior for your hand cast resin projects.
Mold release sprays help to extend the shelf life of our molds. We recommend Stoner Thermoset for Polyester and Epoxy Resins, and Stoner Urethane for Urethane Resin.
