I was wondering if i could use the Epoxy Mold kit  or if I had to use another special type of molding technique for resin infusion?

Yes. The kit is quick and easy to use. I sometimes use it for smallish parts needing a quick turn round. The only limiting factor is if you want to cure the part at high temperatures in the mould. If you are in-mould curing at ambient temperatures then no problem. I have cured at 60 (after post curing the mould first) but not sure EC would recommend that.Smile

officially the Epoxy tooling gel HDT is 50-60C and the putty is 70-80C.

With smaller parts Ive got away with using it upto 90C with extensive postcuring of the mould for quite a few hours.  But it is a risk though.
