You may wonder how a picture will be able to stay in and you will quickly see that in each corner a ledge is formed. Having the ledge in the corner allows for easy demolding. On top of this, you will be able to purchase precision cut acrylic sheets that fit the photo perfectly. This is how the photo will sit in your resin piece on the ledges without bending. The picture will set halfway up the frame. You can double sided tape the photo to the acrylic and also glue or tape the acrylic to the resin to make it secure. You can also sandwich the picture between 2 pieces of acrylic.
This 3" Thick Frame will have wall stiffeners embedded into the outside walls of silicone to make sure the silicone does not bow inwards or outwards. This is important to ensure your final result has straight sides. They will be embedded on the outer walls.

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. 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.
