Hi folks,



As per the thread title ........  I'm not sure if what I have bought from EC will be fine for what I am trying to accomplish.

I purchased some 'Vac-Cast' Epoxy casting resin as I read it was ideal for a tooling plug as it was an aluminium filled epoxy casting resin resistant to heat.  I've searched on the forum on how to use it ( and on YouTube ),  but can't find anybody that has used it !

I did find however,  many casting tutorials on the net but they were for liquid Latex and others.  Am I to assume it's exactly the same procedure ?  I have also read some of the tutorials on here,  but the guide very quickly deviates to mould construction for the use of vacuum infusion for carbon fibre parts.

I simply need to pour the mixture into a vacuum formed part. Leaving me with a 'male' plug so I can vacuum form many other parts just like my original.



Any information greatly received as I'm really stuck as to which direction I need to go.







Thanks guys.

Excellent link that 'Freemansupply' Fred ........  many thanks.   

I had seen some of their how-to videos on youtube, but some of their articles are very good.
