Impressive Re-usable Molding Putty (1.5 oz (42 g))

I did a lot of research and testing before I arrived at ComposiMold as the best material to mold objects that have sensitive surfaces. (old vintage toys) The material is so easy to use over and over again. I hate making multiple part plaster molds! It is so time consuming and messy and if it doesn't turn out right, a waste of time. And the heat of the plaster is not acceptable with certain objects. As a sculptor, I appreciate the ability to take multiple molds with this putty, casting and then reusing it again on another part of the object in a short period of time. Using ComposiMold means I can build my sculptures with the same impromptus and improvisation of working in paints or drawing.

I'm brand new to resin molding. I bought this mold putty hoping it would be good for one-off molds for polyester resin, though I couldn't find anything online about using clay or polymer for molding resin. Answer: it works great. I heated the putty as per the instructions, and made a mold for a Zia symbol, which I filled with red ink tinted resin. I didn't use any oil or mold release because I wasn't sure if I could clean it off the putty afterward; I was worried that the thin arms would stick and wouldn't separate from the mold putty, but the putty stays a bit flexible at room temperature, so I was able to pull it gently away from the hardened resin and it came off clean. I let the Zia cure for a few more days, then I reheated the putty and re-molded it into an oval, pressed the Zia into it, then poured some more resin with amber coloring around it. It all worked just as I had hoped, and the only problem is my own amateurish artistic talents. :-) I'm looking forward to making lots more molds. Be aware that 1.5oz is not a lot of putty. It was just enough to mold this 4" x 3" x 1/4" emblem.

I was excited about trying this putty. But it came to me in unmarked plastic bags, was oily, & had an impression of a figure already in it. Used. Weird and why? Returning and not reordering

I wanted to find another way to make molds of ceramic pieces without using Plaster of Paris. I decided to use ComposiMold Putty to make 12 copies of a figurine. The mold gave me accurate copies, however after producing 3 copies, the mold started to stretch out so I had to remake the mold after every 3 copies. I also recommend putting the mold in the freezer before each use. The copies came out even more accurate by using the frozen mold. Overall I am very pleased with the results I got.

Unfortunate it stuck to the item I was trying to do the mold of.

First of all, 1.5 Oz is very little. I'm ordering at least 4 to 5 Oz. Second. Use a microwave safe ceramic or glass plate. It sticks too much to a coated paper plate. Third, they aren't sent " used ". The company intentionally puts an impression in the putty as basically a demonstration. As far as how many times I can use it, time will tell. It works well for now.

great product, very easy to use.

Product as described, well packaged, shipped quickly and in good condition.

An incredible money saver when it comes to mold making. Very easy to use, comes with a sturdy microwave safe bag. I wish they would have been more clear that you also need to buy the activator with this product for repeated use, or even better if they would have had a sample of it. I would most definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to make easy molds for things like jewelry making, crafts, doll making, etc. Once the putty is cooled and set casting the mold can be a great activity to do with kids. It does get very hot very quickly though, so I wouldn't let kids participate in the actual mold making process until it's had a while to cool down.
