Molding putty?
I'm looking for a product that I could make parts out of without casting resin. Something that I could possibly mix, press into the mold, and have it cure to a hard state.
Also, looking for a similar product to make molds out of. Must cure to a hard shell, so I can press the above putty into the mold. I know these products exist (saw on Japanese forums), but I can't read Japanese, and have not seen the names/boxes - so if anyone can help me with the name or source for something like that - please let me know. Couple of pictures for reference what I'm talking about:

Re: Molding putty?
Have you tried google translate on your phone? I read Fujimi and Hasegawa instructions all the time with it - works great.

That stuff is called "Oyumaru". It is available via Amazon. Do a google search for that name and you'll get plenty of results, including YouTube videos showing how it's used.

Re: Molding putty?
I just use 2 part silicone mould material.
Search for Silicone food safe mould putty on flea bay or Google. It's great stuff. Comes in 2 parts (blue and white) and you mix them and press over the part. Within a short time you have a nice flexible mould. Don't move it before it's fully cured and cooled though or it will distort a little. |

I have silicone and resins, but need something I can hand-press 2-part epoxy putty into. Oyumaru should do just fine.

Re: Molding putty?
I have loads of these. I can probably send you some.
You just drop the stick into hot water and let it soften, and then press it onto something you want to take a mold of. Once it is cooled you can use it for resin mold. You can knead several sticks into a larger piece and once you are done with the mold, you can drop it into hot water and reuse it. |

Re: Molding putty?
Blue stuff is similar to Oyumaru but is slightly stiffer when cold. Look on ebay or any War Gamers site.
