squirrellydw:
Anyone know of a fairly cheap way to mold your own plastic?  Looking to make a shell for my wall mounted jukebox.

ChadTower:

May be easier to do something that size in fibreglass.

squirrellydw:
it is just going to be around a 19" flat panel monitor.

Donkey_Kong:
AFAIK, smooth-on is the best internet source for buying mold and cast material.

Donkey_Kong:
Here is what I use to mold and cast my wifes arcade characters. It should work for you as well...It is the same as you get in the starter kits but bigger quantities.

I use the oomoo 25 found on this page for molding
