## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi does this come with any sheets. Thanks**
A: Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. The FormBox comes with 20 Cast and 20 Form Sheets to get you started!

**Q: What’s the difference between cast sheet and form sheet?**
A: Hi, Form sheets are 0.5mm versatile, easy-to-use white sheets. Great for product packaging, prototyping, and enhancing decorative craft projects. Fully recyclable, partly made from recycled plastic waste. 

Cast sheets are transparent and food-safe 0.5mm sheets for making reusable molds. The slight flex and non-stick surface that the sheet provides ensures that your templates and casts can be removed with ease. Fully recyclable, partly made from recycled plastic waste.

If you need any further information please feel free to contact me.
Thanks

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks a great product for a specific market
*by P***R on 9 August 2019*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Money well spent
*by I***I on 5 March 2020*

Totaly love this forming machine great for making molds and other projects that werent possible without this good build quality fast delivery cant fault it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Takes a bit of experimenting to get good results.
*by S***Y on 27 November 2019*

This a great little product with a few limitations. It was bought mostly for making chocolate moulds but also for producing vac formed packaging for a specialist product. Supposed to work with any vacuum cleaner but we initially had a few issues as we have a Dyson and despite a lot of fiddling around and making a specialist adapter for it, we couldn't get good results. The moulds came out indistinct and/or with a lot of creases. Swopping to a Henry has made a huge difference. We've also found that ignoring the timer and just using our eyes to see when the sheets are hot enough to form gives better results. Would definitely buy again, just wish it had a bigger surface so we could make bigger moulds.
