Mold making to fix broken box!

[BoomboxLover48]

This is amazing work!

Conion C100 bottom leg area was all broken with missing pieces and see how a friend of mine fixed it. He is still working. Needs to sand the edges to shape it and paint.

Not sure I understand the process! But looks good!

I agree!!!!!

Put the mold on the good foot, allowed to set. Detached then filled with liquid plastic stuff perhaps?? I've no idea really, way beyond my crap skill sets. Looks good though.

Basically you need a good box to make the perfect mold.

That means we cannot start a project with one single broken box.

Mold is well made from inside and outside of the box where you want to fix.

Mold needs to be placed from both sides and taped well not to have any leaks. Spray mold release wax on the sides before one place it from both sides. Align the mold properly check again for any leaks and pour the 2 pack resin. Check set time and full cure time for the resin mix before removing the mold. This is a simple way to explain it.

Do a couple of trials of making other molds and curing before making the final attempt with the broken box.

We both had a good discussion before this attempt.

I've already informed him about this post.

This is something I have wanted to get into for years, just need to bite the bullet and buy the materials

So basically you could make a complete front and rear case - maybe norm could use this method for his new tech Boombox build!?

Looks very interesting....but why isn't the foot complete?

maybe the copied box had the usual snapped off foot corner.

That is right! It was from his Helix. That can be fixed with one more mold work. He is not done yet!

The new frontier? Good stuff!

Coming out awesome !!!
I used this process on Iras toshiba bombeat about 5 years ago to reproduce a broken tweeter grill. Came out sweet.

Here is the unit now fully working. The one on the right was the damaged unit.
I'll send rear foot photo.
