hi guys, 

Im trying to make a mold of a metal watch case and bezel. What would be the best method to use for this? Im going to be using the mold to cast a carbon fiber case. 

Will the gel coat and molding putty work or is the watch case too small for this material. 

Any guidance is highly appreciated. I ve checked through the forum and cant really find anything on this particular question

thanks!

you just repeat the same step on the other side Smile just add some releaseagent on part and mould that will be covered again... but keep in mind you have to watch out for undercuts... if you have some undercut with silicone you can just bend it... when you work with gelcoat and so on it can be much harder


thanks again man, i will give it a go
