Will it bond to Instamorph if I use it, to cast a head from a plastic figure? I wanted to use the INSTANT MOLD to make a plastic cast from instamorph.

To be on the safe side, I would suggest using some sort of release (thin film...residual amount... of Vaseline should be fine). You could always do a small test piece before you cast your actual project.

Gluing plastic is always questionable. It might work - or might not, depending on the type of plastic you are trying to glue. Devcon makes a special blend just for plastic but it's not 100% reliable either. Good luck.

I've been using the Clear Casting Epoxy from EasyCast. Got it at Hobby Lobby, little cheaper then Amazon. Don't need to get their easy release mold spray, just use my fingers and thumbs to release it from the mold.

I purchased this item to use for crafting. I make crayons to sell at craft shows and on Etsy. I love the mold however it doesn't work well with crayon. If you are going to use it for anything other than ice it may not work for you.

I would assume so because it's easily shaped! Works better with sand molds.

In fact it WILL adhere to metal (and wood), just not as well as the JB Weld product for metal. I have used it to glue plastic to metal. If you need a moderate-strength bond between metal and plastic this will work. It works better than using the JB Weld metal epoxy, which I've also tried. That adheres to the metal well, but poorly to the plastic. Just be sure to clean, degrease and roughen both surfaces well, as Mr. Lester has pointed out. Something I thought of but haven't tried is to put a layer of JB Weld metal epoxy on the metal and a layer of JB Plastic Weld on the plastic, then push them together before the epoxies set. This might give a really good plastic to metal bond. In fact it WILL adhere to metal (and wood), just not as well as the JB Weld product for metal. I have used it to glue plastic to metal.

Yes you can. Just keep it cold or refrigerated before u use it in ur play because it melts. And I recommend you use Pam baking spray on the mold to take it out easier.

I've only ever mixed it with resin which turn out quite well, i do have a paint product as well which i discovered is simply the powder in a translucent once dry paint but the powder was gritty not dissolved in the paint which is how I found out, so I'm not sure if it would actually disolve, though you have my interest, I make fairies that glow and a snow globe type of trinket would be very interesting, I believe I will do some mixing this afternoon and relate my findings

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

Oh yes. That is what this mold is made for. It worked beautifully for my chocolates. Just be sure to chill mold about 15-20 minutes before trying to unmold, otherwise the chocolate will break apart or will not release very well. Hope this helps.

The head removes completely from the electric motor so there is no worry about that. As long as you let the head fully dry before reattaching it to the base you should be fine. I don't think any ordinary liquid, like alcohol for example, should harm the plastic parts but I've never actually tried. I would suggest trying a bit of the disinfectant on a non-functional part of the plastic before immersing the entire piece. You also might want to simply wipe down the head instead of dipping it. I hope this helps.

The mold is clear, with indentations to represent the veins. If you were thinking of using it for an unusual valentines mold, it would work but be aware there are issues with whatever you put in it not coming out. Hope this helps :)

Its designed not to bond. You can use it to make a mold of a pvc object without fear of adhesion. What are you trying to do specifically? I may be able to further assist.

Unfortunately it won't. It only bonds plastic to plastic. Does that very well, but you'll need an epoxy or some sort of super glue to do what you're looking for.

I've seen it done with 2 part pastic resins on a review on brush4hire.com the reviewer pointed out the thermal reaction from the resin setting can cause your mold to warp so let it set completely before you remove your cast.

No, it stuck to the mold. I wish I could find the original one's I ordered.....those worked great!

I have yet to use mold release with my silicone molds but I've not done anything too big or too detailed. If I was doing something with a lot of tiny intricate details I would hit it with some mold release as opposed to risking it not turning out. I hope that helps.
