I just recieved some of this stuff; it is indeed pretty incredible. Result is pretty similar to a silicone mold. Super easy to use.

Do you think it's would be possible to use it for a two part temp mold for pouring resin, or is it best used for basic items being copied?

I use it with Legos to make drilling and milling fixtures. Works fantastically well.

Got some - question - On the video tutorial he states nothing sticks to it - not even super glue. After making the mold off the master would 2 part casting resin be okay for the duplicates or would you stay with 2 part epoxy putty?  Is the 40 yr old Building Dioramas by Shep Paine method of casting applicable with this stuff?

Blue Tac sticks to it!

I've never tried two part resin with it, but since that gets quite warm when curing (thick parts anyway), it might be a problem. Regular ol' epoxy casts nicely, as does epoxy putty (I.e. greenstuff).

I used this stuff to cast my exhaust flanges in 5 min epoxy:




You can use it over and over, but after awhile it starts to get filled with water/air pockets and possibly detail might suffer. But like I said, my main application for it is to use it to make temporary jigs, for this it is fantastic.
