jerrysbaits Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 What is the best way to make a good 2 part mold for plastics? I have been doing some research and everbody has their own idea. Any help would be appreciated. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Buy a CNC machine and cut your own out (LOL). The best way to make your own would be a POP mold. Its cheap and you can make a bunch of them with a twenty five pound bag of POP. $15 or less for a bag of POP is cheap you can make a lot of mistakes and still get a bunch of molds out of the bag.

IGOTWORMS Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I think the best way to make it would be to open your wallet real big and fork over about a hundred bucks to your favorite aluminum mold dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Jerry, Do a search on this site for either 'plaster of paris two part', or 'pop 2 part molds'. Somewhere there is a good tutorial for making your own simple two parts from plaster. It takes a little practice before you get your own technique down. I think I had to make four or five molds before I could begin making good ones. Good luck, Willy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipLip Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I agree with IGOTWORMS. Buy some AL. If you can, they last forever as long as you don't pour yourself into insomnia and drop them when they're open.(LOL) That works if you want something that is already out there. If you want to make a custom and be yourself you might want to go with a POP two-piece. I heard they are good but have never been able to make myself a good one. If you want AL. you'll be waiting forever:whistle:. If the two piece POP is something your interested just ask out there and many will offer there services to help you get what you need. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bait Co. Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Could someone make a two piece silicone mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 There should be several old posts on 2pc molds, both POP and silicone. One of the post listed a few links to sites with video of how to. Try a search for 'Two Piece Mold'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
