What Is the 3D Modak Silicone Mold?

The 3D Modak Mold is a food-grade platinum silicone resin mold that replicates the classic conical modak shape with authentic ridged detailing along the sides and a pointed crown. The highly flexible silicone walls allow for clean easy release after demolding — no mold release spray is required for epoxy or UV resin, though a light dusting helps with wax and chocolate for an even smoother finish.

The mold is designed for versatility: use it with epoxy resin for decorative figurines, with soy or paraffin wax for festive candles, with food-safe chocolate for edible modaks, or with plaster and concrete for handmade prasad décor pieces.

Compatible Materials

This silicone mold for resin art works with a wide range of crafting materials:

• Epoxy Resin (3:1 ratio) – mix Part A and Part B at 3:1 by volume, add pigments, pour, and cure 24–48 hours
• UV Resin – fill cavities in thin layers up to 3–4 mm deep, cure under a 36W+ UV lamp for 2–5 minutes per layer, wipe oxygen inhibition layer with IPA after final cure
• Soy Wax – pour at 50–55°C for clean release; place wick holder across the top to centre the wick before wax sets
• Paraffin Wax – pour at 60–65°C; the flexible silicone mold releases paraffin cleanly without cracking the design
• Food-Safe Chocolate & Candy – fill with tempered chocolate or melted candy melts for edible festive modaks
• Plaster, Concrete & Cold-Process Soap – pour at room temperature; no mold release needed on platinum silicone for cold-process soap

How to Use – Epoxy Resin Modak Figurine (Step-by-Step)

Step 1 – Prepare resin: Measure epoxy resin at a 3:1 ratio (Part A : Part B by volume) using a precision digital scale for accuracy. Use a clean silicone mixing cup.

Step 2 – Add colour: Stir in your chosen pigment — traditional modak colours are white (milk/coconut), yellow/saffron, or pistachio green. Mix for 3–4 minutes until fully blended.

Step 3 – Pour (two-layer for deep modak): For a deep 3D modak, use the two-layer pour technique: fill halfway, cure for 12–18 hours until firm but slightly tacky, then pour the remaining resin. This prevents exotherm cracking and trapped heat in thick pours. For a shallow modak, a single pour is sufficient.

Step 4 – Remove bubbles: Gently pass a heat gun or lighter over the surface to pop surface bubbles. Work quickly within the resin's open time.

Step 5 – Cure fully: Allow the modak to cure at room temperature for 24–48 hours. Avoid moving the mold during curing.

Step 6 – Demold: Flex the silicone mold gently and press from the base — the cured modak will release cleanly. Sand any sharp flash lines with 400-grit sandpaper and apply a final UV resin top coat for a mirror finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this mold for food-grade chocolate modaks?

Yes. The mold is made from food-grade platinum silicone and is safe for use with tempered chocolate, candy melts, and food-safe mold materials. Wash with warm soapy water before first use.

How do I get a perfectly white modak?

Use a high-quality white opaque pigment (titanium dioxide-based) in your epoxy resin. Mix thoroughly to avoid streaks. Pour slowly to prevent air pockets forming inside the white resin.

Can I add fragrance to my modak soy wax candle?

Yes. Add fragrance oil at a 6–10% load by weight at around 50°C just before pouring (when the wax has cooled to pour temperature). Mogra, sandalwood, and kewra work beautifully for a festive modak candle.

Do I need mold release spray?

Not for epoxy or UV resin — the platinum silicone provides natural easy release. For chocolate and paraffin wax, a very light spray of mold release can give an even cleaner finish.

Can I make a hollow modak candle with a wick?

Yes. Centre the wick with a bamboo skewer placed across the top of the mold before pouring the wax. Allow the wax to cool slowly at room temperature — do not refrigerate, as rapid cooling causes sinkholes in the centre.

How many times can I use this mold?

With proper cleaning and storage, this food-grade platinum silicone mold lasts for 100+ uses. Avoid sharp objects inside the cavity and do not expose to temperatures above 200°C.
