GUIDE TO MAKING A MOULD



Step 1
Cut 6 planks of wood of your choosing (easier with soft woods like pine and beach)

Step 2
Plane the wood to create a trapezium (for hexagon, plane a 60-degree angle)

Step 3
Glue together with no nails glue (any strong all-purpose glue)

Step 4
Once glue has dried, fill in any gaps, space with wood filler (use appropriate colour for the wood)

Step 5
Once wood filler has dried, clean rough surfaces using sandpaper or files

Step 6
Then apply wood stain or varnish to preserve/ protect wood from moisture (colour and number of layers is subject to consumer)
MOULDING

By designing a hexagonal mould, our fire starters are easily stacked and have a hollow passage to encourage airflow.
