Iron Orchid Designs Moulds
Iron Orchid Designs Moulds are made from food safe materials and can be used to transform and create baked goods, furniture, soaps, jewelry, and just about anything you can think up in that creative brain of yours.
IOD Moulds can be used with a variety of different mediums. IOD paper clay is an air-dry clay and our favorite. Like most paper pulp-based air-dry clays, some shrinking, warping, and cracking is inherent. We like these qualities for a distressed, authentically vintage look.
Casting resins have completely different qualities than paper clay. There is no shrinking or warping, and the castings are more consistent. Depending on the project, these qualities can be helpful. If you need to conform them to a curved surface, this can be done if removed from the mould before it’s completely hardened.
Usually, a release is not necessary, and the casting will come out easily, however, if you are having trouble with the material sticking, a light dusting of simple cornstarch or arrowroot is a great choice.
