Equinox Mold Putty

jeyurkon kindly sent me this Equinox molding putty a while back. I'm hopping to use it to create a mold for the missing section of my Motorola 9T1 cabinet.

More info here: http://www.smooth-on.com/gallery.php...9lqc54hd6a2i70

First, I tried it out on some knobs. I have two wooden knobs that are missing the center insert and I need this Motorola knob in gold for a 7VT2.

This stuff only has a pot life of 1 minute so you have to work really fast!

The first attempt starting setting up before I could press the knob into it. The second wasn't mixed thoroughly enough. The next two attempts work out well





Now that I have the molds, I'm not sure what to use for casting resin. Any thoughts ?
