2 Inch Circle Mold – Silicone Mold for Mini Resin Coasters, Fridge Magnets, Epoxy Pendants & Small Resin Art India

2 Inch Circle Mold – Compact Round Cavity for Mini Resin Coasters, Fridge Magnets, Pendants & Small Décor

The 2 Inch Circle Mold from THE CRAFT STATION MOLDS is a compact round silicone mold for casting small-scale resin circles with precision and a flawless mirror finish. At 2 inches (approximately 5 cm) in diameter, this mold is purpose-sized for mini resin coasters, fridge magnets, pendant charms, small coaster sets for espresso cups, decorative tiles, keychains, and gifting inclusions. It is the companion mold to the 4 Inch Circle Mold — use both together for a mixed-size coaster and décor collection.

Made from food-grade platinum silicone that is BPA-free and non-toxic, the 2 Inch Circle Mold flexes easily for clean demolding so your finished resin circles release with a smooth, glossy surface. At 100+ uses, this mold is built for repeated production — pour a full batch of 10–20 mini coasters across multiple sessions without any loss of cavity detail or demolding ease. A must-have silicone mold for resin art India artists who want to maximise their product range with a single affordable mold.

Because the cavity is compact and shallow, UV resin is ideal for quick batch production — cure each layer in 2–5 minutes under a 36W+ UV lamp. Epoxy resin at the 3:1 ratio delivers superior depth and clarity for embedded-inclusion pieces. Combine with resin pigments and dried flowers for a premium small-format botanical resin line.

Mold Specifications & Material Compatibility

Step-by-Step: UV Resin Mini Botanical Coaster or Fridge Magnet

The compact 2-inch cavity makes this mold ideal for UV resin batch production — pour multiple pieces in a single session without the 24–48 hour epoxy wait.

1. Prepare Your Station

Place the 2 Inch Circle Mold on a silicone mat near your UV lamp. Gather UV resin, resin pigment or mica powder, dried flower petals (pressed flat botanicals work best), tweezers, a toothpick, and IPA wipes. Wear nitrile gloves in a ventilated workspace.

2. Pour a Colour Base Layer

Mix UV resin with your chosen resin pigment. Pour a 2–3mm colour base layer into the round cavity. Use a toothpick to spread resin evenly to the edges. Cure under your 36W+ UV lamp for 2 minutes.

3. Place Your Inclusion

On the cured base layer, arrange a small pressed flower, a scatter of gold foil flakes, or a few glitter flakes using tweezers. For a botanical look, place the flower face-down so it presses against the front face of the finished piece — the detail shows through the clear encapsulation layer.

4. Encapsulate & Cure

Pour a layer of clear UV resin over the inclusion to encapsulate it fully. Use a toothpick to push resin around and under the petals without air gaps. Cure 2–3 minutes.

5. Final Fill & Mirror Finish

Top up the cavity flush to the brim with a final UV resin pour. Cure 3–5 minutes. Wipe the surface with an IPA-soaked cloth to eliminate the oxygen inhibition layer and reveal a tack-free, glossy finish.

6. Demold & Finish

Flex the mold gently; the circle pops out cleanly. For a coaster: attach a self-adhesive felt pad to the base. For a fridge magnet: attach a neodymium magnet to the base with E6000 adhesive. For a pendant charm: drill a 1mm hole at the edge and attach a jump ring and chain. For a keychain: drill and attach a keychain loop and split ring.

Epoxy Resin Mini Coasters — Rich Colour & Deep Inclusions

Use epoxy resin at the 3:1 ratio (3 parts Part A to 1 part Part B hardener by volume) for mini coasters with swirl pours, layered colours, or deep embedded inclusions. Mix 3 minutes before pouring. Because the 2-inch cavity is compact, a single-fill pour works well without the two-layer technique — fill to the top, pass a heat gun to pop surface bubbles, cover, and allow to cure 24–48 hours at room temperature.

For embedded inclusions in epoxy: use the partial-gel technique — pour, wait 20–40 minutes until the resin is thick and gelled but not set, then place your inclusion with tweezers and allow it to cure in place. This prevents inclusions from sinking to the bottom or floating to the top. Full cure 24–48 hours before demolding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 2-inch and 4-inch circle mold?

The 2 Inch Circle Mold produces a compact 5cm circle ideal for fridge magnets, mini coasters, pendant charms, keychains, and espresso cup coasters. The 4 Inch Circle Mold produces a larger 10cm circle suited for standard drink coasters, wall art pieces, and clock faces. Use both together for a mixed-size product range — a set of two 4-inch coasters paired with four 2-inch mini coasters makes a versatile gifting collection.

How many mini coasters can I make per UV resin session?

With UV resin and a single 2 Inch Circle Mold, you can produce 4–8 finished mini coasters per hour (3-layer process: base, inclusion, top-up with 2–5 minutes cure between layers). Purchase multiple 2-inch circle molds and pour all simultaneously to increase batch output — 10 molds = 10 finished pieces per batch cycle.

How do I attach a magnet to the back?

After demolding, apply a strong E6000 adhesive or cyanoacrylate (super glue) to the flat back surface of the resin circle. Press a neodymium disc magnet firmly in place. Allow adhesive to cure for at least 2 hours before use. For maximum holding strength, use a 20mm × 3mm neodymium magnet — strong enough to hold securely on a refrigerator or metal filing cabinet.

Can I use this mold alongside the 4-inch circle mold in the same pour session?

Yes — both molds use the same platinum silicone material and the same compatible resins. Mix a single batch of epoxy resin and pour into both molds simultaneously. For a matching coaster set across two sizes, use the same pigment ratio in both molds for consistent colour. The 2-inch cavity fills much faster, so pour the 4-inch first, then immediately fill the 2-inch with the remaining resin.

Are mini resin coasters heat-resistant?

Fully cured epoxy resin is heat-resistant up to approximately 50–60°C under continuous contact — suitable for warm mugs, espresso cups, and candle bases, but not for direct contact with boiling water or hot cookware. For hot cups, place a thin cork or felt pad on the coaster surface as an additional heat buffer. UV resin has slightly lower heat resistance — suitable for room-temperature and warm beverage use only.

How do I clean resin coasters for customers?

Fully cured resin coasters are water-resistant and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. They are not dishwasher-safe — repeated high-heat water exposure can cause yellowing and surface micro-cracks over time. Include a care card with every set of coasters you sell: "Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Not dishwasher-safe. Keep out of direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve colour."
