Rotocasting multiple castings as once

[dmenegon]

Hi all!

I've been working on a Kickstart for just over 2 years now and need to figure out how to run multiple molds as once on a rotocaster. I think it's also called "gang molding". I haven't been able to find much so far.

If I can get over this hurdle I might have a shot at starting a small business with it.

Any info or advice on how to go forward would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Surely it's no different to a single mould but you just have more than one mould sandwiched together?

I would consider running multiple rotocasting machines and a faster curing resin. That way one machine can be running while you are prepping and filling the mould to put into the other...

Thanks for the feedback.

I was thinking of getting a bunch of smaller ones and just running them independently but rotocasters are a rare item out there. I've had to make my own (still under construction).

Pot life is the big worry for me right now.
