Group: Forum Members Posts: 58, Visits: 450	Hello all, I need to make a two part mould of an object made of wood that's surface is lacquered, but I'm very keen not to damage the object. Could you recommend the best suited molding method for this? The piece no larger that 600mm x 400mm x 150mm. The mold should be reusable also. Many thanks, Adam
