I made a mold of my finger and it worked great and captured all the details. I don't see there being any problem with thin plastic.

I haven't tried that yet...I suppose a thicker piece might fare better than a thinner piece, but for some reason I doubt it. Thinking of how it works, the blades, etc. leads me to this theory. If I ever get a scrap piece of plexi glass I will give it a try and post the results.

No. It would break. I made the molds then just stuck the two halves together. It worked great.

I don't think it would work very good, I think if you search out camper parts.com, you will be able to find the correct molding that you need

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 don't know - I did not use with a mold. I used them alone and they worked beautifully!

I have only used it on a cake but I think it would be easy to press into molds as it is quite easy to work with and not hard.... worth a try I would say... it is delicious.

Yes to all questions. Have used it a lot as a mold for home made caramel, never a problem.

I highly doubt it. I have about a foot of the molding leftover and will try it out when I get home from work.

Yes...yes...use glue sparingly. Very light weight. Conforms to any shape. Hope this helps.

Yes....but you will have to let it get bone dry. The thinner you make it the quicker it will slake down into mud. You could mix in some tp...look up paper clay. Paper clay will help stiffen your models

Pvc or plastic? I'd be concerned about melting rather than cutting. Try it on a small piece before investing in much material you may not be able to use.

Yeah I'm sure it will be fine. It's custom, so just be sure when making the mold to get a good impression of the gap.

Yes. Turn the mold over and release the bottom from the top. It should slide out. I have been using my mold for 20 years.

I've been using the resin to cast from molds about 1/16" to 2" deep. It actually works better on thicker pieces, so give it a try.

Yes - you can make nice casts of items with good detail and then use another medium to build - I used green stuff myself. On point to mention - I tried this with resin plastics and the heat created by the plastic destroyed the mold - I did get a decent copy. I just melted the instant mold and used it again with no real harm. Very nice to those one off molds you may need.

You can use any mold safe to use for food. You want to keep it kind of thin so it dries but experiment.
