I’m making some grips for my wands and I found a decent grip design to use as a mold. The mold is plastic, would it be possible to fill it with bondo, let it dry, then remove the mold or will the bondo adhere to the plastic? I want to use bondo because I have alot of it. If it isn’t possible what would be a some what inexpensive way to do this?
If the plastic is fairly nonporous, it should work no problem. You’ll have to let it completely cure and do some serious wiggling and prying, but it should pop right out. I use bondo cured inside a styrene shell for a lot of stuff. Just let it cure and peel the styrene off.
If it’s a deep mold you might want to bisect it to make demolding a little easier.
If it’s a Gumout bottle, then trust me, it works. :lol:
This worked surprisingly well. Was nice cracking open the mold and seeing the finished product, was much better than I expected. Only problem I am finding is that the bondo is too thick to fill the mold in completely so I end up with holes I have to fill with more bondo then sand smooth. After a few runs I figured out a few things and should have no problem making the 6 grips i need. Thanks for the quick response.
