Concrete Aztec Mayan Calendar Wall Art Medallion Mold, SDP-69

Concrete Aztec Mayan Calendar Wall Art Medallion Mold, SDP-69 Description:

• The Mayan Calendar Mold is simply filled with concrete/cement mixes.
• Vessel Molds like this can easily turn leftover concrete into high revenue earnings.
• A few tips to make the finished concrete pieces look their best are to use some water based stains to create depth and ‘antique’ the piece.  Some may even choose to purposely put cracks in the concrete for added effect (using fiberglass scrim in the concrete will help hold the piece together even with cracks)
• All our molds have Lifetime Guarantee against defect. This Guarantee does not cover misuse of the Molds (Dropping the Mold, Prying the Mold out using a screwdriver, Driving onto it with a truck tire… etc.).
• Expressions LTD will not be held liable for any damage, misuse, or collateral damages resulting from use of any of our products. If there is a flaw or defect with a product, we will fix or replace the product.

Mold Use:

• Watch videos and tutorials on our YouTube Video Page.

Mold Setup:

• Wax the mold, appling 3-5 coats of Mold Release Wax to the mold where possible, using a stiff brush will help wax the details of this Mayan Calendar mold.  Lightly buff the wax between coats, once it hazes.
• Apply a thin coat of Rubber Safe Form Release to the Mold just prior to casting the concrete piece.

Concrete Casting: 

• Various methods can be used to cast the concrete piece, though we strongly recommended that you use a very high strength, specialty concrete mix that is suited for this, such as the Surecrete XS-Precast Mix (sold here)
• View our Concrete Recipe section for tips on making your own concrete mixes.
• GFRC: Cement and fiberglass is sprayed on and hand packed into the form and around the sink.
• Wetcast: Oatmeal consistency concrete is placed in form and vibrated. 
• Any voids in the finished concrete can be filled using a Cement Slurry.

Mold Removal:

• If the steps above were followed for the Mold Setup, then most Molds will usually pull out of the concrete with little effort.
• If the mold is difficult to remove, try:
• Compressed air shot around the Mold rim will help break the suction holding the Mold in the concrete.
• Flip the mold over, setting objects around the rim of the mold so it’s about 1/8″ off the surface, and then leave it and allow gravity to help pull the concrete piece down and out of the mold.

Mold Clean-up and Care:

• Clean Mold with a sponge after each use. Any dried cement residue can be removed with a scotch-brite pad (as outlined above in the Mold Setup section. A light muriatic acid wash (20:1, 20 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid) can also remove cement scale.
• Waxing and buffing the Mold after cleaning it use is recommended to protect the Mold until its next use.
