like i said, plaster will heat up to a couple hundred degrees farenheit when hardening (like concrete). nomatter what plastic, PVA, wax, etc you put under that heat, it will probably fail and you would have a huge mess with paint being ripped off. plaster is what you would want to use when making a "master" plug from quick molds (quick molds will have many defects, so you need to fix that on a "master" panel/plug from which you would make the production molds.

i'm sure it's possible and happened many times before but even if it was LIKELY to not harm the car or paint, this is a situation where things can't be left to chance.

Yes, there is a website that Julian uses for exopy resin....I'm going to read more about this stuff....If the man says he's done it with no damage to the car's paint then it must be a way... The website is: http://www.kindt-collins.com/I plan to take some panel molds off an older car I have and it needs repaint anyway....So I don't care if the finish gets scratched a bit...I will report back on the results....I just need to figure out the right stuff for the job.

the best way and quick way of doing it, would be to mask up using 2 inch masking tape (must not be cheap stuff) . mask the full panel and over onto the next panel, leaving a small dent where the panel finishes and new one starts.this will not damage the paint and also protect the edge as that is the problem area.If you do a direct mold onto the paint,it will leave swirls in in the paint from the release wax,this can be polished out but not sure if i would like to do it on someone else's car.so best use masking tape.it would leave small lines but you would have your mold.  |

What I'm getting out of this discussion so far is that it must be a well guarded trade secret on how to quickly take a mold of a panel (forget about doing the entire car on a weekend)....Nobody so far has offered any step-by-step instructions on how to accompish this task without damaging the car's paint....All we read is hypothetical ways to TRY-and-SEE what happens...One says use masking tape, the other says use Resin, another says covered anything with plastic and so on... Can anyone please spend 10min of your precious time to outline the process here?? Something that have been tried and proven to work, not something you've heard on a chat room....If you really want us to believe you please provide a step-by-step method on how this is done (photos will be nice too). By saying " just cover the area with 2" masking tape" doesn't help anyone....and then what?? what's the next step?? what do you use BEFORE and AFTER you apply the tape??....What type resin or mat or something else...I'm guessing people in here are either too lazy to write complete ENGLISH senetences that makes sense or don't know how to put in writting what they want to say...Sorry if I offend anyone but WE ARE NOT MIND READERS.  Magicians maybe but not mind readers....  So let's hear it from someone who's done this process to post a complete description on the subject....Thanks for your time in advance! VK |
