IMPORTANT: ALL U.S. CUSTOMERS... Shipping to the US has been enabled again. Minor fee's have been added to the shipping to cover charges made by the US Border Patrol. They are so small you may not even notice them added to the shipping. The good thing is that as far as I know Duty and Tariff's no longer apply to my products thanks to CUSMA. They used to be paid in advance to the shipper. Proven by a test shipment I did - the two charges are gone.
All prices listed are in Canadian Dollars (CDN) but orders are paid for in your country's currency equivalent. All invoices will show as CDN dollars.
For insurance purposes, American and International orders please keep the invoice total to $400 CDN or less (individual orders). If what you want is more than $400 CDN then maybe split the order in half and place two separately.

Sci-Fi Badge Molds

Product Details

The Star WarsSeries 1 mold has the Jedi Order, Rebel Alliance, Galactic Federation and the Galactic Empire (Imperial) Badges / Magnets.

The Star Trek TOS Badge mold has all four of the Enterprise badges for Command (captain), Medical, Sciences and Operations (engineering).

How to make them: To make the castings I filled the pattern layer (colored) using a pipette combined with an extender tip for finer details. In the case of the detail layer it is best to under fill slightly than to over fill. If you do over fill then after curing clean it off with an xacto knife (Without removing it from the mold - the casting MUST stay attached to the mold firmly otherwise the background color could seep in front of the colors in which case you will need to clean that off too.) before covering it with the black. The black layer is straight forward, just fill to capacity, again do not over fill. The final layer (Clear) is done after demolding the badge and putting it into the round cavity (coasters have a separate cavity mold) and fill with resin. Again, here it is best to have slightly less resin then to over-fill it. After it has completely cured you can sand the sharp corners with fine (320) grit sandpaper.

Please note: The Canada, US & Mexico (CUSMA) free trade agreement certification is tied to the price and SKU number and since the Star Wars molds are very similar to the Star Trek molds, I have used the same SKU for both. To me the SKU is meaningless and isn't really used in my inventory control as I don't have an inventory, products are made at the time of the order and usually shipped within a day or two.

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.
