Resin casting & Silicone mold making

Post by SWFreak »

Hey Everyone, Thought I’d share this information with you since some of you were looking into it as well.<br><br>I’ve been doing some research on resin casting & silicone molds. The one source I found that was a great source on information was <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://home.houston.rr.com/dpstudios/" target="top">Dan Perez Studios</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->. <br><br>That led me to looking in on silicone and resin manufactures. Dan Perez recommended <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.silicones-inc.com/" target="top">Silicones Inc</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->. for making molds. I’ve also heard good things about this product from other sources.<br><br>I found we have a local distributor <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.eagerplastics.com" target="top">Eager Plastics, Inc</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->. It’s listed under their catalog page in the <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.eagerplastics.com/sil.htm" target="top">Flexible Moldmaking Silicones</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> section as RTV1000. Also, they carry a pretty good resin product in the <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.eagerplastics.com/cast.htm" target="top">Semi-Rigid and Rigid Casting Urethanes</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> called SC300.<br><br>That’s all I have for now. I have to check some old E-mail’s that I have from Peter Lukas at <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.spots.ab.ca/~aim/" target="top">AIM</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->. He gave me a list of products that he uses.<br><br> <p><BR><font color=cyan><I>"Here's to the Army and Navy and the battles they have won. Here's to America's colors, the colors that never run.
