FREE USPS First Class Mail Package Shipping with $50 (pre-tax) purchase. Automatically applies during check out. More K-POP & Pop Culture molds available over at www.kawaiiconnection.us These Hobicore flowers are designed so that there is less painting with: (for the 1.75 inch flat piece) the face being a full 0.125 inch deep wherein you can pour a good layer of epoxy in the color that you want the face to be. The flower petal layer is 0.25 inch deep. (for the 1.75 inch backed shaker piece) the face being a full 0.125 inch deep wherein you can pour a good layer of epoxy in the color that you want the face to be. The entire shaker cavity is 0.25 inch deep. The face is inside the shaker cavity. (for the TINY shaker bits/ studs earrings) the face is actually a separate mold cavity that you pour resin into & then glue on top of the flower piece. Your are purchasing just the mold; any cast pieces (if shown) in the photo are not included & are only shown for your reference. TIPS for getting a good cast: 1. It is recommended that you do not let your resin set or thicken too much before pouring or casting so as to ensure that the resin flows into the little nooks & crannies of the details of the mold. Using a blunted toothpick also helps in pushing the resin into the details & ensure an air-bubble-free cast. That is what I do but there are a million ways to do it. :) Some use a syringe or a dropper. 2. Cut out a piece of cardboard (get some use out of those Amazon boxes! :P ) & line up your shaker mold palettes on it before you pour. This will help you move them around if needed without spilling anything. 3. Smaller casts have less mass, which means it does not generate as much heat & reaction to cure like bigger casts. This just means to be patient & let it cure a little longer. (I know this is extremely hard to ask!) There are definitely different ways to make great casts so by no means do I mean this is the only way. :) Molds are made to order & usually take approximately 5 business days unless stated otherwise. To keep me sane & efficient, I am NOT accepting custom mold orders. This include requests of just one or two designs from certain sets, unless the set is shown as two separate mold palettes. I am not going to break up a mold palette as it is always a sure fire way for me to lose a piece. :( If you saw anything on my instagram ( www.instagram.com/Kawaii.Connection ) & is not on here, feel free to send me a message! NOTE that I usually only make the mold once a purchase has been made. It normally takes me 3-5 business days, depending on my work load & volume of orders as I do work full time. My current shop commitment will be stated in the Shop Announcements. That said, I always try to get the item out asap, as I would love it if I get that same treatment in return! :) To see photos & videos of work in progress, finished pieces or sneak peeks, do check me out on Instagram ( www.instagram.com/kawaii.connection ) or Facebook (
