18x12x1.25" Hole In One Golf Inlay 3 Silicone Mold - Charcuterie Board Mold

Interior Size: 18x12x1.25" Fluid Volume: 150oz / 4436ml Wall Thickness: 5/8" Material: Platinum Cure Silicone - Shore 30A Interior Finish: Polished / Shiny Our "inlay" molds are perhaps one of the coolest products to come out of the Crafted Elements lab. We wanted to find a way to merge resin art with conventional wood and resin charcuterie boards, without requiring a CNC machine or router templates. Essentially, creating molds large and deep enough to set live edge wood into, but also had some sort of unique design or integrated feature that would push the coolness factor over the edge. We designed the inlay to be deep enough to allow for 1/8" to 3/16" of material loss per side during planing. You can also use these molds without the wood, and just create an incredible multi-layer solid resin piece. This particular inlay mold know as the "Hole In One Golf Mold" will be sure to give your finished boards incredible appeal that will make them stand out, and therefore command a higher price. It features a regulation size 4.25" diameter golf hole, with an integrated upper half of a golf ball design in the center of it. The "dish" created in this mold with the golf ball at the bottom could either be left as an open and integrated bowl area, or you can backfill it with clear resin to the final height of your board. Creating works of art with our Hole In One Golf inlay mold, wood and resin is a multi-step process but still very simple. Pre-cut your piece of wood to fit on an angle, alongside the raised design in the mold. Ensure the piece of wood is at least 1/4" thicker than the height of the raised design in the mold. This will allow for "planing removal" later. Fill the golf ball with white resin, then let it set. Fill the area up to and around the wood as you normally would, including over the raised dish and golf ball design (which already has resin set within). Demold your piece, and flip it over. Don't plane or sand it yet. Fill the golf hole with clear resin, or leave it open and use as an integrated dish. Once that backfill pour is set, run both sides through your planer to level the piece and ensure the wood and resin are at the same height. We design the inlay/raised parts of the mold to be deep enough to allow for 1/8" to 3/16" of material loss per side due to planing. Finish as usual by sanding, polishing and applying the finish of your choice.
