RESINWORLD Chess Resin Mold Set, 12 inches XL Large Checkers Chess Board Mold for Resin, Full Size 3D Silicone Chess Piece Mold for Epoxy Resin, Chess Board Game Mold

I used this for a chess board for my niece. It turned out great. I did follow the advice of carefully squeezing out bubbles as I poured the pieces and I used a pressure pot to get rid of the rest of the bubbles. I didn’t really trust the pieces to stay upright, so I made a jig that I could drop the pieces through. This way they were held by their highest points instead of balancing from their lowest points.

I don't usually leave review, but there seemed to be a lot of negative reviews about this product. I used a silicone release spray and while the pieces were a bit of work to take out of the molds, everything came out perfectly. The molds are in perfect condition. I would recommend to future users to use the a release spray, and when taking the pieces out of the molds, pull backwards (flipping it inside out) and limit how much you pull away sideways. I think this is where the majority of the product damage came from. Also, make sure that your resin is fully cured, not just set, as it can be sticky until then and possibly damage the molds.

Well worth the money. Super easy to use. It would be 5 stars but a few pawn molds were deformed. A couple of tricks are pouring a dab in all odd squares. Let it settle. Then add more epoxy bit by bit and square will be perfect. Let it dry and then flood coat the rest of the board. When pouring pieces, fill halfway, squeeze the mold at the head repeatedly to squish out air bubbles and get resin into all the details. Then fill the rest.

My grandson loves chess, so I decided to make this set for his birthday using his school colors. Nice thick molds and had no issues with demolding, even without using any release product. I found that the best way to eliminate air bubbles in the chess pieces was to fill them slightly more than half way, then squeeze them all around before filling completely, or in my case, filling to the bottom bands and allowing for partial curing before adding the bottom color. Very happy with how it turned out and he was amazed that I actually made it.

Perfect size made quite a few sets.

The amount of sanding and corrections I've had to do is insane. first reason - the mold is not sturdy and began protruding outwards during cures causing it to have non straight edges and squished corners, the middle pops up in cure causing the board to not sit right when complete and no where to put anything on to keep from happening. second, the fill lines are a pain, and easily spills over despite being inline. I don't trust enough to use again, unfortunately by the time I used it I was unable to return but it is not worth it when you can buy this online in a much sturdier version for just $40.

Two chess pieces are missing. Other than that they seem to work fine. Since it’s sold through Amazon there is no way to ask for them to just send the pieces I am missing. I have to do a full return .

Excelente, tal y como se anuncia, me sorprendio el tamaño del tablero de ajedrez, muy bien, las piezassalen extraordinariamente bien en la resina, solo un consejo para las personas y es que cuando usted haga un vaciado de resina hacia las piezas, pongale poco al principio, saque las burbujas que se acumulan, con un palito, que no tenga punta fina para no dañar el molde, la clave es sacar las burbujas, para que la resina se acomode muy bien y por ultimo, para sacar las piezas ya curadas, saquela con calma, no se desespere si nota que no puede sacarla, agreguele alcohol, para que se despegue. Por lo demas todo bien y muy contento que este molde de ajedrez.
