Molds are folded and have creases in the surface
If it didn't arrive with the molds folded leaving crease marks in the molds, I would have given 5 stars. Idk who thinks it's acceptable to do that. Especially since it's at the bottom surface of the mold, which is traditionally the top of the piece. I haven't used it yet so may update my review when I have, but I tend to buy things and not use them for a long time, if ever. Especially if I know there is something wrong with them. It puts me off to using them and definitely not interested in buying them again. For the price I guess it's acceptable but if they would have told me these were stacked together and folded in half and half again I would have known there are creases and I would have avoided purchasing in the first place, because I have bought other large molds that arrived folded. I bought 3 of these due to the cost ($5.99 at the time) but may return the two I didn't open. They come with a few sheets of gold and silver foil which was a sweet gift. And each set has two sets of hardware. They would be amazing if they weren't folded. First photo is smallest then going up in size. All three are affected. I've been working with resin for almost a decade and I know that the surface of a mold will affect every cast made from it.

The hardware was defective and useless.
The molds were ok, but thin.They held their shape, but I did have to over-pourin order to make sure the finished product would be thick enough.The hardware was defective , and not even made of the same materials.It came with 2 sets of hardware, and set “A” was twice the weight of set “B”. Set B was also shorter.Both were useless for different reasons.Set A was crooked and the metal could not be forcefully straightened, rendering it useless.The washers fit well, and the screw-on parts were long enough to accommodate the washers.Set BThe screw-on portions were not long enough to accommodate the washers.And without the washers as buffers, the metal will damage the resin.Rendering this set useless as well.Set B was shorter than set A.And a slightly lighter color.Each set of hardware came in its own baggie, and i did not mix them up.The price for this mold and 2 sets of hardware was too good to be true.The pricing was lower than other competitors, and it was probably due to the defective hardware.Update: after a couple of uses, the molds have little tears along the edges.I’ve been using mica powder to coat the mold, to help with releasing.I have to over-pour in order to make the piece thick enough to use.If it was just a couple of millimeters deeper, this would resolve the issue.
