    Default Instant Mold, reusable press molding product

    Instant Mold is a potentially terrific new product for press molding. It's reusable and has no curing time.

    Make your own bits! Have you ever wanted to make an extra weapon or shoulder pad for your army, but just can't be bothered to go on ebay to go through all the hassle to get another one? Instant mold is a revolutionary products that allows you to:

    * Duplicate any surface!

    * Sets in minutes!

    * Use again and again!

    * endless applications!
    There's a demo video and ordering information at this link:
    [url]http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/tools-and-misc/instant-mold.html[/url]

    I think they meant to say "wipe off excess moisture" in the instructions, not "access moisture". Other than that, this is interesting.

    I'm still trying to work out how one would go about 'Carefully the master part from the mold'

    Still, sounds like a pretty cool product. Doesn't seem to be availible in the UK though

    I'm also questioning the science cos water boils at 100 degrees....so how does one get it to be hotter than that?

    well 170 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 77 degrees Celsius, perhaps that is what they are suggesting?

    You pressurise it. Of course, that's presumably 170 F or around 75 C

    Ah, our friends in the UK must remember that this product is marketed in the US where Fahrenheit and the English system of measurements still rule the land. Forget Celsius and the metric system when looking at product descriptions from the US.

    Talk of pressurizing it to get it above boiling point is not only off-topic, it's not applicable. Clearly, they are not selling a product that requires you risk blowing up your kitchen to use it. The temperature in the instructions is in Fahrenheit like nearly always in the US. Talk of switching to metrics and Celsius was big when I was a kid a long time ago and that dream died here in the US years ago when they just could not get the average American used to the idea of making the switch. 2-Liter bottles of soda is about as far as it got.

    This seems useful but expensive for such a small amount of material.

    Why not just use Super Sculpy? Sure it's not reusable, but it's very cheap, so that's not much of a concern.

    It's reusable and you don't have to mess with baking it and you don't have to worry about mold release, etc. For $12.99 and all the convenience it provides, it seems pretty reasonable to me.

    Seems like they just missed off 'removed'.
