redg8r Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 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 ) I like to experiment, but I find that reinventing the wheel can be cost prohibitive, thus I post the question. thanks jm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
