Best Projects for Black Edition Resin Molds
These reusable one-piece molds are a good fit for a wide range of smaller to medium-sized resin projects. They are especially useful for makers who want a simple mold setup without building a custom form from scratch.

Coasters + Small Projects
The coaster mold is a great option for small pours, test pours, coaster sets, and beginner resin projects.
Round Resin Projects
Round molds work well for circular boards, small tables, trays, resin art, and decorative projects.
Small Table-Style Pours
Larger Black Edition molds can be used for resin panels, oversized boards, small tables, and larger decorative pours.
Which Black Edition Mold Should I Choose?
Choose your mold based on the size and shape of the project you want to make. Smaller molds are great for gifts, test pours, coasters, and beginner projects. Larger molds are better for charcuterie boards, trays, river boards, and small table-style pours.
| Mold Option | Best For | Common Project Ideas |
|---|---|---|
| 19" x 4.5" x 2" Coaster Mold | Small pours and coaster sets | Coasters, test pours, small resin blanks, narrow projects |
| 10" x 18" x 3" | Beginner-friendly boards | Small charcuterie boards, resin art, serving boards, gift projects |
| 14" x 18" x 3" | Medium boards and trays | Serving boards, trays, wider resin projects |

- Round Bundle: Best for round boards, trays, and small table-style pours.
- Rectangle Bundle: Best for charcuterie boards, serving boards, and smaller resin projects.

Recommended Epoxy for Black Edition Molds
The right epoxy depends on your pour depth, project size, and final finish. Black Edition molds can be used for shallow pours, deeper casting projects, and final coating work, but you need to choose the resin that matches the project.
| Epoxy Product | Best For | When to Choose It |
|---|---|---|
| EcoPoxy FlowCast SPR | Charcuterie boards, serving boards, trays, coasters, and smaller pours up to 1" deep | Choose FlowCast SPR when making smaller projects that do not need a full deep-pour resin. |
| EcoPoxy FlowCast | River boards, deeper pours, large void fills, live edge projects, and larger casting projects | Choose FlowCast when your project requires a deeper casting resin. |
| EcoPoxy UVPoxy | Flood coats, top coats, table coatings, bar tops, counters, and clear final coats | Choose UVPoxy when you need a clear top coat or flood coat, not a deep casting pour. |

Black Edition vs. NO SEAL Molds
Black Edition molds and NO SEAL molds are both reusable resin mold options, but they are designed for slightly different customers and use cases.
| Mold Type | Best For | Why Choose It? |
|---|---|---|
| Black Edition One Piece Molds | DIY projects, hobby use, beginner resin projects, small shops, and budget-friendly reusable mold setups | Choose Black Edition when you want a simple, reusable, lower-cost mold option for common resin projects. |
| Rectangle NO SEAL HDPE Molds | Repeat shop use, rectangle boards, trays, river boards, charcuterie boards, and heavier-duty mold setups | Choose Rectangle NO SEAL molds when you want a more premium HDPE mold style for repeated use. |
| Round NO SEAL HDPE Molds | Round coffee tables, circular resin art, large round pours, and round wood/resin projects | Choose Round NO SEAL molds when your project needs a larger round mold format. |
| Silicone Charcuterie Molds | Small flexible molds, beginner projects, and easy demolding | Choose silicone molds when flexibility and easy demolding are more important than a rigid reusable form. |
Maximize Your Mold’s Lifespan
These molds are designed to release easily, but mold release can be used as an optional step to help prolong mold life and make cleanup easier. This is especially helpful when using resin products that were not purchased from our website, since not all resin systems release the same way.
Always follow the instructions for the epoxy system you are using and avoid forcing cured projects out of the mold. Careful setup, proper support, and gentle demolding will help keep your mold in better condition for future projects.
Best Practice for Cleaner Pours
Always pour and cure on a flat, level, fully supported surface. Proper support helps keep the mold stable, reduces stress on the form, and helps create more consistent epoxy pours.
If you are using wood inside the mold, make sure the pieces are secured properly so they do not float or shift during the pour. Take your time with layout before mixing epoxy.
Complete Your Resin Mold Project
Most resin mold projects also require epoxy, pigments, wood, sanding supplies, and a finish after demolding. Start with the right mold, then choose the wood, resin, and colour that fit your project.

Yes. Black Edition molds are reusable resin molds designed to help you make repeat epoxy projects without building a new form every time.
What is the difference between Black Edition molds and NO SEAL molds?
