Chess Piece Set

1 Chess piece set will make 16 pieces or half the amount for a full board. You can purchase 1 chess piece set and reuse the mold or purchase 2 which allows you to make all the pieces at once.

This chessboard mold measures approximately 14.5" × 14.5" × .75" overall and produces a finished board with a total thickness of 3/4". Each full-size square is 1.5" × 1.5" and is recessed to a depth of 0.25". 

The board layout features 1.5" squares divided by .2" wide grid lines, all set at a 0.25" depth. This design makes it easy to cast bold, substantial squares using alternating colors of resin. After the individual squares have cured, a final backing pour can be added to lock everything together, forming the solid base of the board. The resulting cast piece finishes at a full 3/4" thick.

After demolding, you have several finishing options: leave the grid lines as-is, fill them with a contrasting material, or sand the surface and apply a full flood coat for a seamless chess or checkers board finish.

Please message us with any questions you may have regarding this mold.

**Please note this listing is for the silicone mold ONLY.

Our silicone molds cure to a strong platinum rubber which is tear resistant and exhibits very low long-term shrinkage. Our molds will last a long time in your mold library and are good for resin, concrete, wax, gypsum and other materials. The molds are heat resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 232 degrees Centigrade. They are suitable for casting low temperature melt metal alloys.

SILICONE MOLD CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• DON’T TOUCH the inside shiny part of the mold. This will cause permanent scuffs that will show in your final cast.
• Use scotch tape to gently clean the mold. Tap the spot lightly where there are loose particles.
• USE EXTREME CAUTION when using a torch/heat gun to pop bubbles in the resin. It may rip the mold upon demolding your fully cured resin. Instead try a mist of alcohol over the resin.
• Make sure the resin is fully cured. Uncured resin may rip the mold.
• Please follow all safety precautions when using resin. It is very toxic.
• If you have further questions or concerns about your mold, please send me a message and I’ll get you taken care of.

PLEASE INSPECT MOLD PRIOR TO FIRST USE. I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS OF USED MOLDS.
