To get a quote for an item that is not in our catalogs is enough to send a picture or a drawing of the model that you want to make, along with as many information as possible (height, width, depth, type of material etc.). If you don’t have a model, but you only have a drawing (or even just a concept), you can still get a model made by our sculptors.

To ensure consistent effectiveness over time, the mold needs few but important care:
-Keep the mold away from direct sunlight or heat sources;
-After and before each cast clean any spilled material and cleanse the mold;
-During storage, carefully close the mold into the fiberglass counterparts ensuring that the joints are properly lined up, spread the inside with a coat of industrial talcum powder and protect the outer rubber parts from direct sunlight or heat sources.

We manufacture molds under request; the manufacturing lead time for a single item from our catalog is 5-7 working days. In the case of multiple items the manufacturing lead time will depend on the the amount of items (maximum 30/40 working days). The timing will always be discussed when the order is submitted.

The goods will be sold ex-factory, so you can come and pick up the molds directly from our warehouse or our couriers can deliver them to you everywhere in the world, once you accepted the shipping costs
