Junior73 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) So I just finished up the cowl hood for my first gen mustang, and want to make a few copies for other kits I have lying around. My question is, the hood is in primer, since that is the method I use for finding flaws, do I need to strip it of it's primer before I cast a mold?

Guest Davkin Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 As long as you prepared the part right so the primer would stick as it should then you should have no problems. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariel Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 POLISH THE PRIMER SO THAT THE PIECE IS REALLY SMOOTH DEPENDING THE PRODUCT THAT YOU ARE USING IT COULD PICK-UP THE ROUGHNESS OF THE PRIMER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 It will be fine in primer for making a rubber mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior73 Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thanks for the replies...I'm thinking to be on the safe side, I will clear it this wekend and polish that out, so I have a good surface for pulling the mold from. Thanks again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 As it's a hood your casting, I'd sand the edges down to the base plastic, so that the length/width is not altered by the primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
