composimold.com I picked up some from micromark to try out and it is pretty awesome. I like the fact that if it breacks down you just cut it up and reheat it. scotty |

Interesting stuff, but not so good for casting metal. |

That's really cool! And they say it's good for a minimum of 35 cycles, which is excellent. I'm going to look into this for making molds of our assembled Hirst Arts components (e.g. make bricks, make wall, mold wall, make copies of wall instead of making the bricks individually). Since I don't really need a permanent mold of such things, the reusability would be a big plus. Got any pics or comments on how you used it? Doug Doug |

looks fine, but no good for resin though, i suspect |

elsyrsyn: The website has a number of video tutorials. |

Oh yeah – but I'd be interested to see how you're using it for gaming stuff. Doug |

I was told it works with metal if you cool the mold prior to a pour. I dont work in metal any mor ebeacuse i use the metallic additives in my resin |

If you are going to use it for plaster casting, use the special stuff they made for that. The regular stuff is water soluable, and just makes a mess when it gets wet. I used it to make an RTV gasket, so RTV works as a casting material

I was planning to do some small scale casting of prototypes for my game. Has anyone used this stuff yet? Seems like the perfect stuff for small run prototypes. I'm checking their site now to see if there are any issues in using it with two sided molds. |

there are many vids on youtube of people using this or similar stuff and resin |
