Re: How To - Casting Resin Part I Making the mold

Hey guys I revised the first postand includied a link and picture to what I used.The RTV yielded all the molds you see, I am now out. I think it was a great starter kit for $70.
Another good place is alumilite.com and I am sure there are others. THese products have a limited shelf life so you don't want to buy more than you can use before it goes bad. I have had mine for 1 year and the Silicone was on the verge of being too old. And there are different types of silicone with different cure times and durometer ( hardness ) ratings. Some mix 1 to 1 others a re 10 to 1. There is no way I could cover it all in my little how to so I encourage you to do a little looking around and learn what you can
As far as the second part goes I am anxious to get home and start using the new ones I made last night so I hope to have some more for you guys tommorow.

Thanks for the feedback guys
