Title: Advice IM Instant Mold
Post by: Golgotha on August 25, 2016, 12:30:05 AM
Anyone using this stuff see https://www.amazon.co.uk/Funagain-Games-9001-Instant-Mold/dp/B005PODIVY

Looks interesting was wondering what kind of results can be made? Whether it is worth purchasing.

I bought some and have had nice results making press molds. I've only done space marine shoulder pads though using kneadatite. It has been easy to use.

Instant Mould = Oyumaru. I buy it directly from Japan.

I use it for practically everything, from 3mm to 28mm and everything in between, and with some care the moulds last quite some time.

I recently discovered this stuff. Have moulded heads, boxes, hats n helmets and spoked wheels. I have used greenstuff and/or fine miliput. Results improve with experience. Get some. It is a useful addition to the workbench.

Been using it for quite some while.  Have used it with kneadite, milliput, pour-able resins (in small quantities to limit heat) and with sculpy.  If you buy the Oyumaru you will double or triple the amount for the same money.  I have done two part molds by using petroleum jelly as a release agent. It is defiantly worth having in your tool kit.  The nice thing is that it is reusable so just heat it back up and apply again.  Completely off topic here is another product that is heat molded.  This one is used to make the master not the mold.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mouldable-Plastic-Polymorph-Fantastic-Thermoplastic/dp/B00CAL4BRU (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mouldable-Plastic-Polymorph-Fantastic-Thermoplastic/dp/B00CAL4BRU)  I have used this stuff as ballast inside models and to make original parts.
Hope that helps with your original question.
