ReMold Putty (Beta) is our newest reusable mold making material in a putty form. It can be applied directly to almost any model, capturing the finest detail and curing within minutes. ReMold putty can be used to make molds of sculptures, prototypes, candles, picture frames, coins, etc. You can cast wax, clay, low melt plastics, low melt metal, and a variety of resins into ReMold putty. It can be re-melted and used over and over.
Reusable Mold Putty: Can be applied directly to almost any model; capturing the finest detail and curing within minutes. Reusable mold putty can be used to make molds of sculptures, prototypes, candles, picture frames, coins, etc. You can cast wax, clay, low melt plastics, low melt metal, and a variety of resins into reusable mold putty. Reusable mold putty may be re-melted and used over and over. No expensive equipment is necessary.
Instructions: Microwave the putty in an oven safe bag. Add 2 drops of the Activator to the bag for every oz. of putty. Heat the putty at 10 second intervals until completely melted. Let the putty cool to a temperature comfortable to the touch (115 degrees or less.) Release compound is not typically necessary. Reusable mold putty may be reused many times. Store reusable mold putty in a tightly sealed plastic bag between uses.

Let the putty sit at room temp until cool to the touch. Stick in fridge to cool faster (See tips).
(Optional) Add cooking oil to your hands to prevent sticking.
Knead the putty for several minutes to allow the activator to mix evenly. Use a rolling pin and your fingers to smooth the putty. Remove all the lines in the putty. If you are planning on moving your mold before it solidifies, place it on a plate.
Push your master object into the putty, or push the putty onto your master object.
Let the mold putty solidify. The master object is ready to be removed from the mold when the putty is firm when pressed with your finger. At room temp, leave the mold overnight.
(Optional) move your mold to the freezer to solidify faster. Wait 1 hour before DE-molding the object.
Now cast something! Pour or press your casting material into the mold.
Do it again! Make a completely new mold by following these same instructions each time.
The activator is important for solidifying the mold and useful as a built in mold release, but it will slowly leak out of the mold over time. Too much activator on the mold surface is undesirable; simply remove the excess and pools of the activator with a sponge or dry cloth before pouring your casting resin.
