can i use this with instamorh moldable plastic or will it fuse with it?

I am not sure, but I have a feeling it will be ok. I am not a fan of instamorph though, I can tell you that. I usually use 2 part epoxy like green stuff in it, and that works great and paints great as well.

I honestly don't know the answer. You could try a small test piece to see, and maybe use some sort of spray release just incase. That usually will help in most cases, unless the release reacts with one of the materials or the other.

Not sure of curing process of instamorh but unless it causes heat enough to degrade the surface of the impression you shouldn't have a problem. I've used the molds to cast most two part materials and have only run into one problem with an ectothermic reaction. I could salvage the Instant Mold material by reheating, though the costly material being used for the positive was a total loss. See if you can contact instamorh to find out if there is any heating involved with the transitional state of their product, if it's not to hot you can sill use the Instant Mold.

Don't try. Ive used both and Both form with heat so even if they don't fuse there will be serious deformation bordering on pointless. Instant mold is great for epoxy putty(I use it for gunpla parts, duping custom Lego elements, replicating broken items(etc.)) and the occasional resin cast if its simple and low detail. Sorry for going off topic. I wouldn't recommend it.

Candace, Creative Paradise (http://creativeparadiseinc.com/) offers a fusing mold with instructions that can be used in the microwave kiln. Also, keep your eyes open for a new product called "Polar Fuse" should be on the market July 2013!

I have not tried this. Plus the product does not say you can use it for interior plastic. It works with exterior plastic though

I doubt it very much. I no longer have my instructions from the manufacturer. I would suggest going to their website and looking for specifications which may show temperature extremes that the mold can tolerate.

You probably don't want to use this for mold making as it is not flexible. I'd suggest a casting silicon from smooth on.

Not with a good bond. This is a solvent that literally melts the plastic together....

I am sorry I have no idea, I purchased it to use with glass and fusing, it did not work for me with that project idea. Donald Martz

Yes you can use the silicone rubber mold to mold a another part made out of the same silicone rubber but you need to use a silicone mold release agent. This same process is used to make two part molds. If you didn't use the release agent, the uncured rubber would stick like crazy to the mold. I cannot answer the coloring part of your question because I only use the molds for molds and I don't care what color they are but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. Alumilite has a website with some information, you may want to check them out.

Yes, I have molding at the bottom and it works great. It takes a couple minutes to get right. Dont get frustrated if it doesnt open and close properly just work with the adjustment of the corners,after you find the sweet spot it works amazing.

I've used plaster, and wood putty, as well as polymer clay and resin, and every one of them came out just fine. If the mold would have an easily accessible place to remove the item being molded, it will most likely work just fine. The only issue I had with the quick-set rubber was that it could be stiffer than others and eventually break. If you're only making one copy, you'll be fine. More than 10 copies if it's intricate, you may have a problem. Other silicone rubbers might do a better job for the more intricate items if you're making multiples, but otherwise you'll be fine.

There should be no problem. Just make sure you cleaned all the plastic off the tip and it will work just fine. You just don't want to get melted plastic in your solder joints! So clean it all off.

Don't know, but it is adequate for melting lead! Will get too hot for normal use and cause excess oxidation, so keep it low enough to fill molds without solidifying too quickly. Play with it for a little while, and you will quickly find how to use it.

I'm not certain. I do know that it wasn't heat resistant. When I poured hot mix into the mold it changed shape. This could have been my mistake certainly. I only tried them once.

The cholcolate is excellent for melting. I do not know about reshaping with mold trays. I use it for cholcolate covered pretzels and it is the best by far.

I dont think so, the plastic is pretty thin. I think it would melt. I never tried it.

The packaging label does not specify if the product is safe with plastics. Should be safe and purchase products specifically for your application.

Yes! I used it with candy melts and was able to do a lovely job the very first time I used this mold!!!
