Group: Forum Members Posts: 10, Visits: 26	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! Tags cast casting epoxy gel coating molds
