Default Re: Building 1 time use mold. input?

Dave,
An easy way to do it would be to use a plastic container from someone such as Rubbermaid. Home Depot, office supply, and toy stores might be a good place to look for your mold. Wax the container then use a non-waxed gel coat and coat the inside. Then just glass it. You can add core material as well for insulation.

Great thing about the rotational molded plastics, they have a taper built into the part, and your piece should pull right out. If not, just cut it off. Further more, the plastic totes and garbage cans come in all shapes and sizes, even stating the volume in gallons . They have relief’s in the sides that will add to its strength.

You’ll have a great looking fish box in no time at all. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
