george12182 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I finally made the jump into trying to pour some soft plastics. So I attempted to make my first mold today. After reading through some of the mold/making posts here, I went with the bondo/resin route since I didn't want to wait for the pop or water putty to cure. Here's what I did. I glued the worms I was copying to the bottom of a pyrex dish, then added the bondo mix. The only problem I have was that some of the bondo seeped under the edges of the worm. So my mold had a little bit of bondo that I had to file away from the top of the cavity. Does anyone else have an issue with this. Is there a solution? Do I just try to do a better job of gluing the stuff down. Or is there something I can use to seal the edges of the worm before I pour the resin over it?

Richard Prager Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Try washing the worm/worms you are going to use with some soapy water. Let them dry and place them on some double sided tape or try the glue again..........or maybe even both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I actually like when that happens because I get an under cut that keeps the plastic from over flowing the mold. I just let it set then run it over my flatbed sander to remove a small amount, works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
