  • Patent number: 6352609
    Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating a cure tool for curing materials at elevated temperatures. A facility tool is formed having a tool surface defining a mold line corresponding to a pattern of the object to be molded, to which a release coating is then applied. A mixture of a first resin surface coating is then prepared and de-aired to remove air trapped therein before being applied to the tool surface of the facility tool. The layer of the first mixture is then allowed to tack off for a predetermined period of time before being re-smoothed to promote substantially even application thereof to the tool surface. A mixture of a second resin surface coating is then prepared, preferably having a mix ratio by mass of about half the mix ratio by mass of the first mixture, and then de-aired to remove air trapped therein. A layer of the second mixture is then applied to the layer of the first mixture after the layer of the first mixture has tacked off.
