What's the Difference Between ComposiMold and ImPRESSive Putty?

Why Would You Use ImPRESSive Putty or ComposiMold?

Use both:) 

Both the ComposiMold and ImPRESSive Putty molding material are re-usable and Food Safe. The ComposiMold-Original mold making material is a heat an pour molding material. The ComposiMold is a liquid when warm, whereas the ImPRESSive Putty you heat and press over an object. The Putty will be like a clay when heated.

  • Advantages of the ComposiMold Reusable Molding Materials:
  • 1.       Slightly better details
  • 2.       More flexible and pourable to cover your objects
  • 3.       Transparent so you can see your object that you are molding
  • 4.       Works better with the ComposiCast Clear Epoxy Resin



Advantages of the ImPRESSive Reusable Molding Putty:
  • 1.       No mold box needed
  • 2.       Firm molds for push molds like polymer clay, clay, or epoxy putty
  • 3.       Higher melting temperature (185 F) vs. ComposiMold (135 F)
  • 4.       Super easy and fast mold making if you chill your mold to cool it


In many cases, using both together is advantagous. For example, we made a two part mold using both the ImPRESSive Putty and ComposiMold.
