Is it possible to use alginate as a mold and pour a plat 55 cast. Or would it be better/cheaper to pour a plat 55 mold and cast the plat 55 from that?

Perhaps I should explain a little further. I need to cast an object 1 time in a L shape with little detail in plat55. One branch is 12in the other is 5in. What would be the best/cheapest item to use for my mold as it will not be reused.

What do you plan to pour into your mold? Resin, plaster, cement, soap, wax?
As soon as we know this, we should be able to point you in a direction for the best/cheapest method of getting you one cast replica?
Also, is your master "one of kind" or if you destroy it in the process, will that be a problem?
thx, Mike

I plan on making the casting or pouring plat 55 in the mold. It doesn't really matter if the mold is destroyed.

I would probably coat the L with paste wax and pour a plaster mold. Then pour Plat 55 or perhaps High Strength 1 into the mold to reproduce the L.

Guest DBS2010Q5,
The Amazing Clear Cast is the only resin (epoxy) that we have that is FDA compliant. I don't believe it would take that high of temperature for a vacuum forming process.
It is used for cups and plates, but no microwave or dishwasher is advised. We only recommend using it with cold drinks and cold food for FDA applications.
Regards,
Carol
