Well it looks interesting , I suppose it depends on the melting point of the compounds. I'd also like to hear if anyone has used it.

I suppose it depends on the melting point of the compounds.

All the specs and a tutorial are on their website.

Melting point of Composimold is listed as 130 deg F. Says don't exceed 200 deg F.

130 deg F is very hot tap water.

If you're making a mold from a modified "styrene" model car part, the usual quoted permanent-damage point for styrene is said to be around 212 deg F.

This means you SHOULD be able to make a mold from a styrene kit part with no damage to the part.

If you make a very thick part using a 2-part material, there's a chance it could exotherm, which would melt the mold, of course, if you got hotter than 130 deg F.

Your results may differ.
