Rayher Pineapple Full Form Latex Casting Mould, Red, 9.5 x 15 cm

Happy with product

This is a pretty good mould it's easy to use. Good for kids to paint. Or pond decoration, my one bad point is the crown never turns out perfectly, and If u kiss him he doesn't turn into a Prince sadly.

It’s just a latex plaster mould but it works as it’s supposed to. My daughter enjoyed making a few models from the mould.You have to cut a circle in some card to suspend the mould over a bowl of water, which supports the mould and keeps it in shape.

I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for gnomes. There, I said it! However, rather than buy one, I thought I would get a mould and have a crack at making my own (using cassini plaster). This one turned out to be a good mould, although it is quite floppy, compared to other moulds I have used and I found it needed to be supported at the base, when you’re using it, with a cardboard collar (see below). It gives a cheery looking gnome cast, with his hands clasped behind his back, which is about 22cm high, with a base of width of about 8.5 cm.One small point, the mould does not have much spare latex around the base rim, so I made a cardboard “collar” for it to sit in which makes it easier to use. (I didn’t remember to take a photo of this, however, I’ve attached a photo at the end of similar collars I used on small moulds, to illustrate)

This mould is so easy to use, I put it in a pint glass and it fit perfect. It can be used over and over, so far I have made 3 gnomes and love them. I used casting cement in white, painted them with acrylic paint then sealed them with a clear varnish, superb, even if I say so myself. Would recommend this mould, the easiest way to get the mould off is to rub a bit of washing up liquid on it then rinse it off under the tap and it peels off easily.

I found it easy to use and came out no trouble just got too paint it now mould is good quality

We love this mould. Break if the horn and you have a horse.My daughter and her friends loved painting them.Watch air bubbles under the chin and use liquid soap to help remove and prevent the horn breaking.

Couldn’t believe how much cement I used to fill it up, it was very heavy. I did pack some out with polystyrene, which worked ok. I loved how it looks after I painted and waxed it.
