Can this be used in place of using resin cast? Like if I put it in a mold, will it harden like resin epoxy will?

i have seen a video where a woman used this product like a resin. she covered her artwork on her bottlecaps. but the tedious process is going through the liquid, that has been placed on any surface, and going through it over and over to pop all the air bubbles. it is very time consuming. and I think it would be more costly to use it as a resin, depending on the thickness of it. youtube is a good place to watch videos of crafters using different products.

I imagine if you overheated it but it is designed to not bond with anything but rather make a mold of the desired item. It is also reusable with is very nice when you need only one or two copies of something. Not as detailed as a silicone mold.

I don't think so. It is nothing to replace the resin. Does not cost that much. Does a great job of washing cars/trucks.

Yes, I mix Flex Coat 2 part epoxy in them all the time. There is only one catch though, I pour the resin in one cup and the hardener is another cup. I tried pouring both parts in the same cup, but discovered that the cup measurements are not accurate, so I started using 2 cups each time I mix and that assures me accurate parts.

I use it for swamp cooler repair.It is very slick,but I think after application while still wet you could put sand on top ,and pat some into the epoxy before it cures.It already A very thick mixture,not sure what mixing sand in would do to the mixing,and curing process

No, it's hard when fully cured. I created outer shells for molds and used fiberglass within the resin. I can stand on them and they don't budge. The edges where it's thin will bend a little with force but I wouldn't say its flexible.

Yes, thats the clay i use when making a piece. Just be sure to put a coat of the clear spray to seal it or the mold will tear your original apart and you'll have to scrub your mold. :) hope this helps and good luck on your work!

I have used this on plastic pieces to make copies for lost/broken piece and it worked well. Now pouring in a plastic resin to make a part will not work if the plastic curing process is high head - like most. That will melt/distort the material as it is flexible at 160 degrees F. If making a copy with plastic parts I would recommend a silicone mold. If using something like green stuff - this would work well.

I found the product gets 'thicker' within 30 minutes or so. If you are adding charms, jewels etc (inside the resin) you should have plenty of working time. I usually allow mine to dry 24 hours before removing from the mold.

Pretty solid pieces as far as durability. I cast pieces smaller then a button well about 8 of them I used a silicone rubber to mold the shapes it has it's own release agent mixed in with it . Anyway the pieces turned out very hard and I was able to use my Dremel to polish them down a bit after they cured. I highly recommend it. However be sure to use rubber gloves ( kind you clean a stove with) as I believe if this gets on your skin into your pours it can lead to your repository system shutting down. No chipping no cracking of any of my cast so far.

Not sure of curing process of instamorh but unless it causes heat enough to degrade the surface of the impression you shouldn't have a problem. I've used the molds to cast most two part materials and have only run into one problem with an ectothermic reaction. I could salvage the Instant Mold material by reheating, though the costly material being used for the positive was a total loss. See if you can contact instamorh to find out if there is any heating involved with the transitional state of their product, if it's not to hot you can sill use the Instant Mold.

Yes .I.dont see why not your going to have to keep your dentures in while you do it and construct the melted plastic material from this and shape a tooth in your case with dentures you can take.them out wpuld prob be better and then mold tooth and wait for it to harden because if you take it out of your.mouth and run material under cold water it hardens so in your case dont run it under cold water just let it air dry. Dont drink hot liquids it will melt. There are denture repair teeth on amazon cheaper in price than this product. Good luck!!

Sort of, but i would use silicone putty instead (Alumilite). Alginate is great stuff, but it just helps create a negative mold, not the final positive product. Mix some up and put your hand in it. Alginate does not "dry"; it "gels", and sets up like hard jello. It is always somewhat moist, and needs to be kept wet. It is most useful for making casts from other water-based products, like plaster of Paris, or Permastone (a much harder cement). If you want to make fake teeth, you want to cast with some plastic material, and for that a silicone mold is much better.

The surface you are using this on needs to be non-porous, or treated with a coat to make it non porous, or you run the risk of it fusing with the item. You could paint acryllic on it and peel, anything oil based will break down the mold in a few uses.

Oops, I am sorry the picture did not load and I thought you were asking about a different product. I used polymer clay in the mold and think the mold was rather too soft for harder clays. The clay would have to be very soft or you would have to use the mold for something like chocolate before it held its shape. I have not spent much time yet with this mold so I might not be the person to ask.

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.

This would be enough for 2 to 3 castings, I'm guessing you have some sort of casting material (plaster of paris,or latex would be a couple of good options,the latex you might get more than one pour to that mold) for your mold, as you cannot use this on skin
