So you should be able to make a mould from epoxy and use it to make polyester parts. If you are only making polyester parts then a traditional polyester based mould system would likely be a cheaper option. The Uni-Mould System uses a Vinylester tooling Gelcoat which means it is fine to make epoxy, polyester and vinylester parts in a Uni-Mould tool. Thanks. I know polyester is cheaper, but I need to make near zero shrinkage tooling.
