Use for broken mold

Post by Gail L »

I ordered a bowl mold from Bullseye....it was delivered by UPS...broken. The situation has been resolved (Bullseye was AWESOME) before I throw away the mold....is there any use for the broken pieces ? Different sizes of pieces.
Just want to make sure I'm not throwing away broken mold pieces that could be used for something.
Thanks

If it's tiny pieces, it's toast. Throw it away. But, if the pieces are large, you could slump in it for some small bowls, etc. Can't really tell if you don't post a pic.

If you're into casting, crush the pieces as use it as mold additive. It strengthens them.
