Hello All!
Im currently working on making some copies and I have the mold made out of Rebound 25 which i've never had issues with.
But im trying to cast in a clear epoxy resin. The epoxy resin I bought was from hobby lower and cheap, I figured it would work fine, but the epoxy never wants to cure. I froze it and was able to remove it from the mold but once it cooled they just kind of flattened out like melted gummy bears.
Does anyone have experience or know of a brand that works with smooth-on silicone rubbers. I know they have the crystal clear, but I was seeing if there were some cheaper off brand options what would work just fine.
Or do the two not mix? I.e. silicone rubbers and epoxy resins.
