Katori/Vati

The Katori/Vati mold is a must-have silicone mold for resin artists who want to cast small, round bowl-shaped pieces with clean edges and a smooth finish. Inspired by the classic Indian katori (small bowl), this mold is perfect for creating decorative bowls, trinket dishes, diya bases, jewellery holders, and more using epoxy or UV resin.

Made from flexible food-grade silicone, the mold releases cured resin easily without tearing or distorting the shape. Whether you are a beginner experimenting with pigments and alcohol inks or a small business producing resin homeware, this katori mold gives you consistent results every pour.

• Classic katori/vati shape — ideal for trinket dishes, diya bases, decorative bowls, and jewellery holders
• Flexible silicone construction allows easy demoulding without cracking or warping your cured piece
• Compatible with epoxy resin, UV resin, and casting resin — works with pigments, inks, glitter, and inclusions
• Smooth inner surface transfers a glossy finish directly to your resin piece, reducing post-pour sanding
• Reusable and durable — rinse clean after each use for long-lasting performance
• Compact size makes it great for batch casting multiple pieces in one session
• Suitable for beginners and experienced resin artists working on home décor or craft business projects

How to Use

Pour your mixed epoxy or UV resin into the mold, add pigments or decorative elements as desired, and allow to cure fully as per your resin brand's instructions. Once cured, gently flex the silicone mold to pop out your piece. Wipe the mold clean with a dry cloth or mild soap and water before storing.

Safety Tips

Always work with resin in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves when handling uncured epoxy or UV resin. Keep molds away from direct sunlight when not in use to extend their lifespan. Uncured resin can be a skin irritant — wash hands thoroughly if contact occurs.
