Manouk, a trainee furniture designer and maker, is crafting a beautiful cabinet with epoxy drawer fronts. She has ordered an HDPE mould from us at PlasticSheetsShop, especially for her final project. This mould helps her pour epoxy without making a mess.

The project

Manouk has created a cabinet with vibrant epoxy drawer fronts. She used HDPE sheets as a mould to perfectly shape the epoxy. Manouk says, "Once you measure everything carefully and know exactly what you need to use, making a mould is straightforward."

Step-by-step guide

Cut wood

Cut the wood to size for the drawer fronts and attach it with a nail joint to the HDPE sheets.

Screw pieces

Screw the wooden pieces together and place them on the HDPE sheet.

Keep in place

Use a set square and corner clamps to keep the corners at 90 degrees.

Seal

Finish the inside of the mould with silicone sealant to prevent the epoxy from leaking.

Black polyethylene sheet 4 mm

Tools

Set square
Corner clamps

Other requirements

Wood for drawer fronts
Nails and screws
Silicone sealant

Tips from Manouk for others:
