Hand formed panels are just that, hand formed ie hammer and a bean bag for most anything curved and snips and shears to cut to shape.

I use cast for fishing lures and I was thinking something along the lines of finding guys who make the custom metal bodies making a press mold and cast a hard plastic body but its hard to find those bodies and people to let borrow them haven't worked any yet but going to make an attempt real soon so I don't know the exact properties and attitude of the materials but couldn't we just he the styrene to a flimsy sheet like state or panels and stick them to the inside of a lexan body causing a positive cavity to form a hard body of that particular lexan body??? or something like this with the lexan and use the alumalite original hard cast resin How to squish mold Last edited by THX_138; 11-05-2013 at 12:18 AM. |

Anyhow, to answer the question, my experimentation with resin forming parts is minimal and admittedly a failure I used this stuff as a release agent. Mann Ease Release® 200 & 205 Product Information | Smooth-On I can confidently recommend the release agent I used because it was about the only part of the process that worked as it should have The resins from that website worked pretty well also... If you make a decent mold . | |

I talked to thx my comment has no use here but my original was incomplete on my part I do a lot of molding processes. ..peanut oil or industrial thru alumalite products....before casting put layers of it on let it dry in between for best results if ur ising a metal compound for you're filling resin don't worry it won't stick..or at least iy shouldn't if ur using poly mold
