In January I made a new pair of molds for one of the more complicated cases I make.

I made the molds from the wood I had which was plywood for the base and thin mdf for the top, my problem is the leather is wet when formed over the mold. As you can see I have added some plastic to keep the mdf dry. Unfortunately the plywood does not like getting wet either.
I thought about sealing them with wax but it would stop the leather from accepting dye.
Any ideas appreciated.
