I am working on a product that is a approx 6" x 10" x 6". It is designed for Flex 80 (or maybe 60 or 70 depending on how it works out) and so that the part can be removed from a permanent hard mold.
I can use aluminum, but that is a large chunk of aluminum. Not to mention machining cost
I was thinking of using foamed Polyethylene, which I know works good with the Flex series resins, but I can only get it in 3/4" thick sheets and it cannot be glued together, so I would have to mechanically fasten which is not the best to ensure mold integrity.
The other option I was thinking was tooling board. I assume Flex 30 would attach to urethane board? But maybe not to epoxy. Anyone have any experience with tooling board for urethane rubber part molding?
I am looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance
