Concrete Sink Mold, Rectangle 17"

Product Detail:
  • The '17" Rectangle' Sink Mold for concrete sink fabrication.
  • This rectangle shaped sink Mold has distinct angle lines that run from each corner, toward the drain in the center.

  • Small style drain for bathroom/lavatory size drains.

  • Create a seamless integral concrete sink and counter top.
  • Dura-BLU fiberglass Molds are reusable indefinitely with proper care.
  • Dura-BLU molds have a highly polished Industrial Gelcoat finish.
  • Dura-BLU Molds are made using the strongest commercial-grade resin, NOT out of GP (General Purpose fiberglass resin).
  • Each Dura-BLU Mold has an Internal Flange:
    • Inner Flange further strengthens and braces the Mold.
    • Creates a platform to screw into; securing the Mold to the form.
    • Allows clamps to be used to lift stuck Molds out of cured concrete.

  • Each Mold comes with one disposable foam drain hole knockout. Additional Foam Knockouts available here. Reusable Rubber Faucet Knockouts (Large size) can also be used for drain holes.



    Product Specifications:
  • Sink Mold Measurements: 17" Long x 13" Wide x 8" Deep* (8.25" Depth including drain flange).

    • *Depth can be adjusted by trimming/sanding down the Mold to your desired depth, but you may lose the Internal Flange that is in the Dura-BLU Molds if you trim very much.
    • Sides to Dura-BLU Molds have at least a 5° slope to ensure Mold removal from concrete.

    • Mold Setup:
    • When planning, remember to add 1" - 2" to each side to your measurements to account for the concrete thickness for the sides of the finished sink.
    • Apply 2-3 coats of a Mold Release Wax (sold separately).
    • Apply small amounts of silicone to the Mold's rim, and set in place in your form. Allow silicone to dry.
    • Screws can be used to secure the Mold if necessary. Using screws of the appropriate length, screw through the bottom of the form, up into the Internal Flange of the Sink Mold.
    • Run a smooth silicone bead around perimeter of the Sink Mold, where it meets the form base. Silicone Disposable Foam Drain Knockout (supplied with Mold), or Reusable Rubber Knockout, on to Mold. Allow silicone to dry.
    • Apply a thin coat of Fiberglass Safe Form Release (sold separately) to the Mold just prior to casting the concrete piece.
    • Various methods can be used to cast the concrete piece:
    • GFRC: Cement and fiberglass is sprayed on and hand packed into the form and around the Mold.
    • Wetcast: Oatmeal consistency concrete is placed in form and around the Mold and vibrated. A simple box should be built around the Sink Mold, to contain the concrete during this process.
    • Hand Packed: A drier concrete mix is hand packed into the form and around the Mold. A second step after de-molding will fill the voids with cement slurry, usually of a different coloring.
    • More information available on our Fabrication Tutorials Page.
  • Any voids in the concrete can be filled using a cement slurry. Add Cenospheres to portland cement to reduce shrinkage and make filling voids easier.



  • Mold Removal:

  • If Mold Release Wax and Liquid Release were used prior to casting the concrete, most Molds will usually pull out of the concrete with little effort.
  • If the mold is difficult to remove:

    • Adding cold water and ice to the inside of the mold for 10 minutes will shrink the mold just enough that removal is easier.
    • Compressed air shot around the Mold rim will break the suction holding the Mold in the concrete.
    • Using a few blocks of foam against the concrete, place a 2x4 across the Mold, and pry the Mold out using some large C-clamps, or wood working clamps.
    • Most Molds can be pushed out of the concrete by removing the drain plug, and pushing the Mold out through the drain hole.


    Warranty and Mold Care:
  • Each Dura-BLU mold has a Lifetime Guarantee against defect. This Guarantee does not cover misuse of the Molds (Dropping the Mold, Prying the Mold out using a screwdriver... etc.).
  • Liability Policy: Expressions LTD will not be held liable for any damage, misuse, or collateral damages resulting from use of any of our products. If there is a flaw or defect with a product, we will fix or replace the product.
  • Clean Mold with a sponge after each use. Waxing and buffing the Mold after use is recommended to maintain the Mold in top condition.
  • Any damage can be repaired using 2-Part epoxy (Available for a few dollars at any hardware store- comes in a double syringe). Mix the epoxy, apply to the damaged area, and sand smooth when dry. Wet sanding the Mold will return the damaged area to a high gloss if desired.



  • Shipping Information:
  • Usually ships within 2 business days.
  • Most orders ship the same day ordered.

    Concrete Edge 2" Grande OG


    Product Detail:
  • Re-usable edge form liner to create a detailed edge on concrete.
  • "Grande OG" edge detail.
  • Made of extremely durable polyurethane that can flex and stay strong.
  • Can be used in pre-cast or poured in place concrete work.
  • Cut to length easily with a utility knife. Join cut pieces using silicone.
  • Fast and easy to place in a mold, and quick to clean after use.
  • Good for hundreds of uses- Actually gets better with each use.

  • Product Specifications:
  • Measurements: 95"L x 2"H.

  • Mold Setup:
  • Place in mold and either silicone in place, or screw through a backing form into the Edge Form Liner (screw holes will disappear once you back the screws out).
  • Silicone a bead across the full length of the bottom of the Edge Form Liner to create a water-tight seal.
  • Use of form release is recommended, but usually not necessary. Form release generally will create a smoother finish on the concrete.
  • Vibrate concrete well, or use fingers along entire length of Form Liner to remove as many air pocket voids as possible.

  • Edge Liner Removal:
  • After the concrete is sufficiently set up (typically 2-3 days), remove the Edge Form Liner.
  • Removal is simple- start on one end, and slowly peel the Form Liner away from the concrete.
  • Concrete usually will have small 'bumps' which can be sanded off with a 200 grit sandpaper. These bumps tend to disappear the more the Edge Form Liner is used, as it becomes seasoned.
  • Fill any air pocket voids with a slurry mix. Cenospheres (sold separately here) make slurry fill voids more easily, and with less shrinkage.

  • Edge Liner Care:
  • Clean with a stiff brush and water after each use. Any silicone left on the forms should be peeled or scraped off (the sooner the easier to remove). Any hardened concrete can usually be removed using a wire brush.
  • *Occasional imperfections may be present on the Edge Form Liners, and can be altered using a sharp utility knife, or a very abrasive sand paper or resin-bound grinding discs.

  • Shipping Information:
  • Usually ships within 2 business days.
