The Composimold ComposiMold-LT (Original) - 40oz is a 100% reusable mold-making material ideal for hobbyists, craft artists, and aspiring sculptors who want to create multiple casts without waste. Its key benefit lies in its melt-and-pour reusability, allowing for the creation of numerous molds from a single batch. A minor caveat is that it's best suited for smaller mold parts, although it works with a variety of casting materials.

Composimold-LT is designed to be reusable over 35 times, provided it is handled and remelted properly.
The recommended method is using a microwave in a microwave-safe container. Melt in short intervals, stirring between each, until fully liquid.
No, Composimold-LT is certified as an art material (ASTM D4236) and is not intended or safe for direct food contact.
It is compatible with plaster, cement, epoxy, polyurethane, and other similar casting materials.
Store the solid material in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It can be remelted and reused later.
No, it is non-toxic and conforms to ASTM D4236 standards for art materials, making it safe for crafting use.
It is particularly excellent for small mold parts and detailed items due to its flexible, rubbery nature.
Ensure material is cut into smaller pieces and stir frequently during microwaving to promote even heating. Use shorter microwave intervals.
Ensure the mold is fully cooled and solid. For very intricate objects, a light release agent might be considered for the original object before creating the mold, although Composimold is typically non-stick.
Ensure the melted Composimold is poured slowly and steadily into the mold cavity or over the object to minimize trapping air. Gently tap the mold box to release trapped air before it solidifies.
Ensure the material was fully melted and properly cooled. Overheating or insufficient cooling can affect the material's integrity. Ensure the mold design allows for adequate draft angles.
Setup: To prepare Composimold-LT, cut it into smaller pieces and place them in a microwave-safe container. Microwave in short intervals (e.g., 30-60 seconds), stirring between intervals, until fully melted and liquid. Allow to cool slightly before pouring into your original object or mold box. Once cooled and solidified, carefully demold your original object.
Compatibility: Composimold-LT is compatible with various casting materials including plaster, cement, epoxy resins, polyurethane resins, and low-melt metals. Ensure your casting material is suitable for use with thermoplastic mold materials.
Care: To reuse, simply cut or break the cured Composimold-LT into pieces and remelt it following the setup instructions. Store unused material in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the material becomes contaminated, remelting and straining may help, but significant contamination may require discarding the batch.
