Hi all, after some help please…

I am making a "mould" but without an original part, its a simple item so I am making from foam core and was going to "paint it" using Uni Mould obviously using the catalyst and using the MW agent stuff, so I am mixing it as you would for doing a mould repair so it dries out.

My problem is I know if I paint brush this on to the flat surface and then look to flat it off afterwards, most of my time will be spent just rubbing out the brush stroke marks, I believe the Uni Mould is to thick to spray on so how can you apply this giving the flattest finish??

I am thinking of using a paint brush to apply it and then using a roller to get a better flat finish prior to rubbing it down. Has anyone done this before and can pass on their advice please?

Cheers,
Lee.
