Masonite molds

In Response To: maybe not such a dilemna (David Blodgett)

I wouldn't use matt on the inside; smoothing all that (female) matt surface would eat your lunch. How about taking advantage of the smoothness of the masonite by applying the release agent directly to the masonite? You'd only have to fill and smooth the joints. If you have the materials on hand, run some adhesion test.

Since you have CAD, you could reinforce the mold with an egg crate structure mado of female station forms.

I'v been wanting to do the same mold idea for a compounded plywood design, but havn't got it worked out yet.

Good luck.
