Google "polycaprolactone". I use it to make DIY mounts. You heat it up to 150F (water in coffee mug, nuke it in the microwave for a minute), and it becomes moldable like silly putty when it's heated up and hardens when it cools.
The one brand name I know off-hand is InstaMorph, but I buy it in bulk now.
I used a wooden form pressed into delf sand to make the mold. I tried making a form out of wax but it was crumbling and falling apart constantly. I hadn't heard of using foam yet.
Has anyone tried low temp moldable plastic for the form? It melts at lower than boiling water, but I'm concerned it might burn up and leave black carbonized ash embedded in the metal. If you've tried it, how did it go?
