Hi!
I have usually just made epoxy moulds, So I wanted to ask a question because I am not sure how this unimould system, differents from epoxy based mould. If I dont post cure the mould, how fast I can start making parts from the mould? If I release the mould from the plug, Am I ready to use the mould in next day? or will there be a styrene pockets or something? So basically I am asking how long it takes to have the mould ready for use.

I started making my first mould with unimould system. I was shocked how fast the gelcoat started to cure with 2% ratio. Next time i must use 1.5% ratio of hardener. First gelcoat layer did had some clumps now. I hope they will not affect in final mould surface quality. Never had clumps before, so no idea. It started to make clumps under 10minutes.
