I have a 3D printed part that I need to make foam replicas of. I used Smooth-On Rebound 25 and created a silicone mold of it. I then used a fiberglass like product (forget the name) that also paints on and solidifies.
I can't put the shell on as one piece because there's no way to remove it. Even a two piece is tough because of the inner part of the piece. I broke it up as a number of pieces but it doesn't provide enough rigidity and the foam I poured in came out a little warped, especially in the one place I didn't have the shell.
Any ideas for how I can put a shell on this? Pouring silicone into a box mold seems like a waste of silicone for this part. Can Rebound 25 even be poured?
