Hi everyone!
I could use some advice...
So I draw my part in software and those were CNC-milled in multiplex wood.
I know wood isn't the best choice but for me as a student it was the cheapest way...
The finish is good but I'm wondering how I have to finish the moulds before filling them with an epoxy to get the plugs out.
I'll finish those plugs once again till a high gloss then. The wooden moulds will only be used once to get the plugs.
I have some ideas but wondered what your experiences are with those kind of problems.
1. Coat the mould with a Infusion Resin with a brush a few times.
2. Use vinyl wrapping (carwrapping vinyl to seal everything
3. Use a 2K filler spraycan. and sand till high gloss
I would prefer choise 3 but I need to have a confirmation telling me it wont react with epoxy after it...
I read it a lot its ok to do it that way but just need the confirmation if possible

Thanks everyone, everything worked out fine with the 2K
Mould is sanded and polished so ready for the next step
