CTBASS56 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hello all, Fiberglass resin or just me being dumb??? I have been making a few molds now and I have been coming across the same problem every time the mold is complete. When I take my master out, little pieces are getting stuck here and there and I cant seem to really get them out, not even with all of the little sculpting tools I have. There not like big chunks rather small pieces stuck in crevices and around the edges. I use pam on the master so I am not sure why this is such a problem however it is because it seems no matter how hard or long I try, I can not get these little terds out. Is there anything I can put on it? Can I soak it in something? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! Again, I am making the molds out of fiberglass resin.

Richard Prager Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 What type of bait are you trying to mold? Are you gluing or taping the model to the bottom of the pan/box and pouring the resin over it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBASS56 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 For now I am making mostly craws/creature baits...yes, I have been glueing the baits to the bottom. Am I supposed to be DRENCHING the master with pam? I have been applying pam liberally but not drenching it and making a mess of it. Any thoughts???

Clay, Wax, or something else ? If it is wax or plastic you can warm the mold and wipe it out. If it's clay I'm sure there is a solvent you can use to melt the turds.
