I bet they don’t either, just charge the next one two hundred and fifty quid for a “new mould” cheeky buggers

Then they're a strange bunch. Most workshops have stacks of previous molds.

I’m not sure about the plastic, if it gets scuffed you would get a line in the run. I suppose it could be ok for a cove or an s shape cornice, but if it was a Victorian straight run with a bit of detail say a drip member zinc or tin would be a lot better and you would get a better finish on the Cornice and keep the details sharp.

Also think if you used it as a muffle the plastic would chip when you knocked the casting plaster off the mould.

No it would start to wear away as the plaster hardened as you run it thru, even the thickness of a fag paper every time , it would just build up, and I wouldn’t get a sharp finish

I bet they do. We skip thrm all.
The cost of 250 is to run a reverse mould on the bench so it can then be cast from. The reverse mould is made of Plaster so no good once of the bench.
Running the cornice on the bench defeats the point of casting. So that's why a reverse mould is done so it can be cast.
