Real aluminum makes a much better mold, and 'cures' faster.

Not in the same league as epoxy.

Okay, ... I really get a kick out of putting chips on the ceiling.

RE: Lookingf for aluminum epoxy for mold

Aluminum can be machined at pretty high speeds.

I especially like 2024, which makes a beautiful short chip if you're cutting it fast enough.  

When you're cutting fast, and the chips are breaking correctly, a horizontal spindle will throw chips up far enough to hit a lot of shop ceilings.

RE: Lookingf for aluminum epoxy for mold

Look for an aluminium filled grade of epoxy with minimum shrinkage and good conductivity and recomended for moulds. I don't remember any more without doing the same search.
