Some time back I was asked to produce a Mold to generate signature tokens in exchange for a few geocoins. I have not heard from the person who requested the mold in some time.

 

This mold is made of RTV rubber (hardness shore 30) and will allow you to produce tokens from quick set plaster of pairs over and over again. The mold will easily cast 200 - 500 tokens if its taken care of.

 

With plaster, no releasing agents are needed. Just use water to help release the dried token and make sure the mold is clean when put away. If anything a light brushing of petroleum jelly aka vaseline then dropped into a ziplock bag would be good for long term storage.

 

Token design typicallytakes 3 - 6 hours. Mold casting takes another 3 hours plus material after all stages are complete. (including preperation, mixing, casting, cleanup etc etc). This gives you a bit of an idea of time and labor involved.

 

Let me know if this may interest you. Its a great way to leave signature tokens.

Rather than casting them out of plaster, I would use alumilite or polyester resin. They will still pop easily out of the mold, but will be far less breaky.
