Home of the Two-Step mold.
International shipping has been adjusted to $45 CDN for everywhere except North America. That is the cost of a 1kg package that's 20x20x18cm in size. It may need some fine tuning later but we'll see how that works for now.
Don't be fooled by the number if listings, there are over 70 two step mold patterns.
Object based two-step mold to make the crosses in flags found in Nordic countries (and others). The final casting is a cross with different colored borders. Here you see the blue cross with white borders (Norway) and the red cross with white borders (Iceland) and red cross with blue borders (Faroe Islands). Ready to be used in pen blanks. The top skin is there to center the cross properly in the cavity.
This mold comes with special instructions on how to make the castings and how to use them.
Step 1) Pour the cross colors needed in the thinner crosses. Up to three at once.
Step 2) Demold the crosses. Clean up any excess resin. Plug into the thicker crosses using the slots provided to auto-center them. Pour the border colors. (Note: you could also make 3 more first pour crosses at this time as well.)
Step 3) Demold all the crosses. They are now ready for use in your pen blank design. (Shown here in my sample casting cavity which is the same size as the regular two-step mold's cavity.)
Although dimensionally this mold is the same size as the regular two-step molds it uses about 25% more silicone than the regular two-step molds (no cavity) which is why they cost a bit more.
I love the quality of these molds!
I own several of these molds by Armand, and they are absolutely the best silicone molds on the market.

Silicone Mold Designer/Maker
Hello, I'm just an elderly gentleman that used to make wood pens and sold them on the crook site known as E t s y! This website is my breakaway from them. Anyway, as I said I used to make wood pens but the pen making competition out there is just too great for this old guy. When COVID broke out my son and I started making mask prototypes from heat resistant skin safe resin. That required the use of custom silicone molds. Well we finally got a mask that was approved by the hospital for use but it had to be patent pending before they would buy them. So with no money left to pursue it any further it was dropped. I had all this silicone left so I decided to design and make a new universal tube-in mold that would work for most any pen type. One thing lead to another and here I am now with a full product line of two-step silicone molds for pen makers and have new patterns coming out all the time. This new product line is a low profit but satisfying one that I enjoy doing. They have been sold to customers in over seven countries.
Please Note: If Armand's Write Stuff (AWS) spends time designing and making a new product - even if it was by request - the product design remains the property of AWS and will be sold as seen fit by AWS.
