Jeremy Jon Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 dead thread I now, but instead of starting a new one ...this only thread found here under this subject found anyone here use this product? it looks promising for single time castings, not sure if heat is a concern though, depending on master material? http://store.composimold.com/composimold-food-contact-1/
randx0 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 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.
Casey Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Is sounds like Alumilite's "Amazing Remelt" is very similar:
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) 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.
