how do you cure the molds before using them? Is this a one time process?

I don't remember curing them. I washed them. But I'd crease the heck out of them before I would use them again. Last time I used them, with a muffin recipe it didn't go so well.

I remember from long time ago - that the mold was stored in water for 24hr before using. That should help with the release issues.

I have not done that. However, I did look that process up before I bought the set. There were several websites, comments on the process in reviews, etc. which explained the way one does it. I suggest you just try a couple of questions such as the one you have here and see what responses you get.

Yes, Just thaw a little or use saran wrap. Just be careful not to break the mold.

Must be put in a cool dry place. Make sure exact equal parts are mixed it's important or it won't harden. If mix properly it is usually 24 hours. I put my creations on a tray with a paper towel (you don't want to get this resin on anything it will ruin it) and place in my micro wave over night, just remember not to turn it on. The reason why is if you have animals or children or anything falls on the resin or touches it you won't get a perfect product.

Put a lollipop stick into the chamber before pouring the mold. Buy the sticks seperately.

I have used this mold several times now and there was no problem getting the resin out. Hope this helps!

I don't know - I did not use with a mold. I used them alone and they worked beautifully!

What I did was follow instructions and didn't leave them in for more then 2 minutes then took them out gently like the instructions called for and handled them gently because they are still a little soft when you take them out. NO MORE THEN 2 MINUTES MOLDING TIME IF EVEN THAT.

yes, these are for one time use. They are great if you need to make large quantities and you don't have multiple metal baking forms. They are also look great.

I've seen it done with 2 part pastic resins on a review on brush4hire.com the reviewer pointed out the thermal reaction from the resin setting can cause your mold to warp so let it set completely before you remove your cast.

Not sure what you are asking. Whatever you used to make the mold in the first place IS the reverse mold. This product is designed pour resin into the mold to reproduce items multiple times if necessary.

Just drop them in. I also put a droop or two of clorox in the water. Never had a problem with the pink mold.

I did just to make sure they were clean. I just soaped up a cloth, rinsed and dried them a bit and poured in the mix. Very easy clean up afterwards as well.

Well the problem with any mold is that it's alive, more or less. So, once it starts, one either kills it or does not. What I did (no longer have that machine,) was always wipe the inside of the seal with a solution of pure liquid bleach, applied on a rag, using my finger tip (rubber gloves, OK) as the applicator. That more or less did the job... depending on how bad it was. But there's no doubt it's a troublesome problem. The other thing I frequently did was run a load of HOT water in the empty machine, with about a quart of pure bleach. I think you get the drift: mold is not your buddy; kill it!

When I made them they came right out when I tipped the tray. You can spray a light coating of nonstick spray if you want. If you flip the tray over and the jello isn't coming out place a warm, not hot , towel over the mold. It will loosen up the jello a little bit for it fall out. Remember to use the recipe on the box for jigglers not the regular jello which will be too thin.

When I did it I poured my chocolate into each of the molds and let it set. After it was firmly set, I popped them out of the mold. Then I warmed up a small skillet and carefully held the chocolate with the flat side out and touched it to the pan just long enough to get the chocolate melted enough I could then place another chocolate shell on it to make it fully 3D
