Okay so I just completed my first mold and everything looked perfect...from the outside. As I pulled the part from the mold I noticed the part had been completely alligatored through the OEM paint and into the abs plastic part itself.
What caused this?! I didnt use too much MEKP I actually used a little less than I was supposed to. I waxed and PVA'd several times while useing the proper precautions of waiting to dry in between coats. The only thing I didnt use that could have been a causing factor is a hi-temp wax. I actually left it at home so I used Honeycomb wax or HoneyBee wax..something like that. It comes in a yellow container.
I will be producing more molds from plastic parts and dont want this to happen again.
Thanks for the help!
