European style smooth bead reusable clear silicone mold

The beads from this mold come out extremely smooth. I only gave it 4 stars because it's difficult to get the resin into the molds. Although I'm not sure how this could be solved the lack of 5 stars just acknowledges that.

This mold is really good for making pandora style beads. After demolding the beads a little sanding so that the surface is symmetric. But they work for me

It’s not a bead with a hole at each end. It’s a bubble. Not what I thought.

I bought this with the idea that I would make beads to go with the other resin pieces I am making. It's a little tricky getting the resin into the mold, but I think with practice it will get easier. My first casting actually went really well and my beads came out perfectly. The second time, about half needed more resin, and the last time I used it, I had mixed pieces as well. Some I over poured to try and overcompensate to make sure I didn't have 1/2 full compartments, but now I will need to sand those down to make them usable. I don't use beads often, but I will continue to use this mold, especially if I have mixed more resin than I actually needed for other casts. I do like the wide hole, making it easy to use cording instead of jewelry wire.

Haven't had the chance to use this yet but looks to be of decent quality. Thank you.
