[Woodworkers] Reusing Resin Forms

[chuck.steger at gmail.com]

   I need help from some resin gurus ...

   The first and only table pour I did was a one-off and so I used a
disposable form. It turned out pretty decent for my first try. Now I want to
make cutting boards for Christmas gifts in the river style. They will all be
the same dimension with only the "river" being unique. My question is can
you reuse forms?

   My plans are to use melamine veneer plywood for the base and sides. I
bought mold release spray which I plan to use on the base and sides. I'll
use caulk along the natural edge to try to keep the resin contained but I'm
sure I'll have some leaks which is why I'll spray the whole base. Do I need
mold release tape? If so, river bed only or whole base & sides? For reuse,
peel it all off and retape? Or, is mold release spray good enough?

  Some of the people doing pours are really talented and creative. I'm a
novice but you have to start somewhere!

   Thanks!

 

Chuck
