The mold is from Silicon. Basically I hot melt glued some truestone blanks to 3ply strips slightly large than the blanks, then glued that to a larger piece of ply, with ply sides. All glued with hot melt glue. Just make sure you seal all the way around all joints, this one I didn't and hence the little flaps. I fill the mold form with oil as a release and to measure amount of silicon, drain well, then fill with silicon. I get mine from FGI.

What is your mould made from?
Another learning, after stripping the next day, allow another week before casting any resins. I was advised on IAP site if you use it any earlier the blanks stick to the mould. I found this to be true with the mold I made Gawdelpus

The molds I have made were use the day after with no problems. With the amount you use, fill the mold with water pour water into cup and mark the cup. Empty the cup dry and pour resin in then weigh no problem.
