BOC262 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 This may be of interest to some of you: Secrets of Expert Mold Making & Resin Casting, 2nd edition, written and illustrated by Karl Juelch. 120 pages, over 100 detailed illustrations with supporting text show and tell exactly what to do to create high performance molds capable of making perfect, professional quality castings. Most books and articles leave out important bits of information, making it impossible for the beginner to get professional quality results. I was lucky enough to apprentice with a master mold maker who shared the secrets needed of making flawless castings. I then spent a number of years running my own mold making and resin casting business. All that knowledge and experience went into writing this book--nothing has been left out, all the secrets are revealed. Starting from the simplest molds, the book will guide the reader into more advanced techniques using vacuum, pressure and heat for the most demanding casting needs. Also discussed are methods for making core molds to produce hollow castings. To the best of my knowledge this subject has never been covered in print before. Emphasis is on low cost, low tech methods that are suitable for home shop use.
