Alright Guys, got another question I cant seem to figure out.

I have made a mold for an access cover for the elise. I want to offer this to companies or Race teams with thier logo indented on the part. Also if possible I would like to use the same mould for diffrent layouts so the lettering on the mould would need to be removable.

Here's my thought, theres this machine my hommies girl uses for scrapbooking. It cuts out perfect little letters from pc font.

I want to tsk these little things about 3mm thick and glue them on to make my mold or part.

This is my insperation:

So I want to put in an indent, I have my blank mould made. Now I want to make a part that says "Carbon Tuner" up the side of the part. I would like to take these letters glue them to the mould then make my part from there. I am pretty sure though these little foam letters would compress so I would have to soak them in a hardener of some sort.

In theroy my part would then have the impression, then I could scrape the letters of my mould and be ready for the next logo/name.

And if you wanted it to be rasied well you would have to put the lettering on the donar part before making the mold.

Sorry for lack of a better picture but it cuts out smaller letters like this. Sorry kid, your gonna be famous some day becasue of this:

I havent tried but I think the resin would eat that away...


You might need to switch to epoxy resin and do the vinyl letters like Jay did. I assume that's the exact look you were going for. That's what I had in mind at least.
