| If it's a one off mold then you can use anything that will hold it's shape, support the weight of the laminate during cure, be reasonably inexpensive, reasonably easy to work into a fair surface and tolerate some heat during the cure. |

| Foam as mentioned, concrete springs to mind, clay, plastic...actually, some plastics are lousy....
