Today I proudly present our brand-new silicone molds – the Light Houses . To create these magical light houses, you'll need at least two, or even better, three different silicone molds. How does it all work? Let me explain.
We offer the basic silicone mold as the base, which is suitable for both small and large tea lights. This mold is unique in that all the gable and side panels can be attached to it, regardless of their position. This gives you the opportunity to unleash your creativity by combining the side and gable panels as you wish.
In step 1, the base plate and walls must be poured. You should mix the Raysin as thinly as possible to achieve the most even wall thickness possible. This initial step has a decisive influence on the subsequent steps.
Step 2 is to lightly sand the walls and their corners to ensure there are no uneven edges after pouring. This can be done with sandpaper or a file.
In the next step, the walls are glued together. We recommend using the house jig for this. For this task, we recommend using Ponal Express wood glue. We have thoroughly tested it for heat resistance (up to 100°C) when used with Raysin.
Once both sides and gable walls are glued together, the house is glued together and placed on the base plate.
Once all sides are securely attached, you can carefully remove any excess wood glue from the sides using a small skewer or similar tool.
The glue sets quickly after about 10 minutes, but then needs to dry to be durable. Give your new lantern house a night to set.
We wish you lots of joy and many magical moments with it.
