[NSRCA-discussion] making a mold

[Chris Moon]

David:
    A room temp laminating epoxy like west systems or ez lam etc will be 
fine.  You will get better results with any of these however if you warm 
the epoxy before mixing and keep the mold at an elevated temp compared 
to room temp until the part has cured.  I have used just a simple wooden 
box with a light bulb in it as a curing "oven" and it helps quite a bit.
