Yes, you can get high temp engine paint at most if not all auto supply stores Snake River. I got this one at an Advanced Auto store...but they all carry engine paint. Thank you for asking. Eric.

Snake River, yes the paint should add strength to the plaster. After a mishap with a previous mold, I’m going to place a thin piece of plywood on the back side of the mold to spread any clamping force out more. Also the use of spring clamps like super oversized clothes pin type clamps to clamp it. I had tried to use a small bar clamp with a screw type handle for pressure which didn’t end well for the mold. Even though I only put an extremely light amount of pressure one side broke into three pieces. Now mind you it was clamp straight onto the mold. So now I’m going to use a couple small pieces of wood. Hopefully in the morning, giving the paint a good amount of time to completely dry...

Are you talking about Bondo, or fiberglass resin? Not sure what auto body gumbo is. Can you explain?

I have heard of using it, as well as the resin from the auto store for cars, but personally, no as it’s a bit more costly...

Well, didn't come out to well, nor as well as I would have liked. But it's fixable I think. Will work on it some more and go from there...more in a bit...Eric.
