borderbasser Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Has anyone had any experience making a mold with this stuff? I have done plenty of the fiberglass resin, and most I like very much except for the shrinkage and warping. I recenty made a two piece mold for lead using the Bondo body filler mixed to about 50/50 with fiberglass resin to thin it down(maybe just a tad more filler than resin) and it worked fantastic. Has anyone used this with soft plastic? The mold I just made for the lead weight didn't seem to shrink or warp, but it was pretty small. Maybe if it was larger you would still experience the shrinkage and warping? If anyone has tried this, did you have to seal it with Devcon or the like? I know that you don't need to with the resin, but I am curious about how the filler affects this issue. Anyway, just a thought. TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 The mixing bondo with the resin sounds like a great solution. I suggest that you go ahead, lead the way and report back. With the fluidity and release properties of resin and non-shrink properties of bondo, I really think that you are on to something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrm-n Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have made a lot of molds with resin... but never with filler. I have bought some molds from Chris (alsworms) and now trying my hand a POP molds (I have a long way to go with that LOL). Like Vodkaman said.... let us know how it works out.

Gloomisman Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I've used the resin but never the filler. Please let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
