Epoxy 2 piece mold?

Recommended Posts

I think most people avoid epoxy as a moldmaking material because of the higher cost.

epoxy is a widely used mold material, what are your thoughts to using epoxy over, say, poly-resin?? less shrinkage for mating the halves??

anyone made one?? im curious too, thats one project I havn't run thru the lab :)

Epoxy is about twice as expensive as polyester resin, but has some advantages. I think shrinkage is nill, and many get as hard as shore D 60, which is like a billiard ball.

If you could make a 2 piece mold out of epoxy, it would be much cheaper than CNC aluminum. (sorry Del 8O )

I like to experiment, but I find that reinventing the wheel can be cost prohibitive, thus I post the question.

thanks
