Damaged sections may be returned to the mold and repaired by adding 

 epoxy to the injured places. 



The epoxy sections may be repaired by drilling out the defective 

 component, replacing the component and remolding the damaged section, 

 using the original gage mold and new resin. 



If the gage mold is not used for several weeks, it may absorb moisture 

 and cause the epoxy not to cure. Such moisture in the mold will also 

 cause the epoxy sections to be white in color. Heating the mold for 

 several hours should remove this moisture.
