How thick should the mold be and does it need flange area reinforcements?

Hello! Thanks for your answer!!I made this test with 3 molds and I got better at it!And now is time to build the real ones and I try to find out how can I build them (how many layers, how thick, what resin etc) for lasting longer and for demoulding many parts from it!I'm liveing in Europe and I'm not sure I can find this type of resin AOC MoldTru!I'm trying to use UNI Mould System from Easy Composite I don't know if will work for demoulding 100 pcs out of it??

Your profile indicates Florida, so I chose a product easily available in the US.

Thickness depends on shape and size, plus type of process. The stronger, which sometimes means thicker, you make it the more abuse it may handle from rough treatment, especially the flanges.

Florida, Europe, tomato, tomato.

So, Jonathan, you live in Florida but you're from Europe?
