I've seen (in several audio mags), shops using expandable foam for molds.

Who carries this stuff, in the can, like these shops use? Every place I've found so far has it in a spray can only.

Do you mix it like fiberglass? Can you control how much it expands? Would like to use it to make molds for door panels, etc. Seems a lot easier tha. pour 'a' mold or latex..

$20 for two quarts. It is a two part foam 50/50. It expands to about ten to fifteen times. Works great for making a solid mold. Easy to cut, sand, shape. Builds extremely fast. Can starts cutting sanding it about one hour after it has been used. I can tell you how to do it all but it is easier to buy some and do some testing with it for yourself. It is most like the yellow expanding foam sold for insulating.
