Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could clear something up for me as I've read conflicting information and now I have a project where I need to know
Basically, I've been asked to make a part from epoxy using a mould which is being supplied.
The downside is the mould is made using polyester resin and some people say that I 100% won't be able to remove the part when finished, some say I need to use their special technique and combination of release agents and some say it'll be fine. Don't know if it'll make much difference, but I plan on using gc50 so hoping this will act as a decent barrier between the mould and epoxy
Some solid advice would be great. I've only ever had to use easy lease and wax and never had a problem making polyester parts in an epoxy mould.
I don't want to have to make a polyester buck, seal and make an epoxy mould as that cost will scare them away
Thanks in advance
