bartzenegger Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 Bart, regarding the dark green: it may just be a matter of ratio of blue to yellow. As David said, if it's anything like mixing paint, a little more blue and less yellow should make a darker green. robert that worked great! color is much closer!!!!!

duxastrogirl Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 and from what material are you making the molds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.I. Gosses Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Silicone rubber is very good for the moulds and 2-components PU hard resin for very good detailed casts. All brands here are different, so there is no use in mentioning names. I prefer PU to epoxy (John??) but that might be because of the particular product. I got that from the archeology museum that replicated all the items fromThut-Ank-Amon.As to the rockets that B might be casting, maybe some tips:Eastwood comp., who sell things for car restorers, sell someting they call gripping compound. You dip the handle of your hammer in it and it forms a rubbery, flexible coating. They have it in various colours, certainly red. So you either make a rocket and dip the tips or you make a form (Lathe?) which you cover with releasing agent, and dip that. Polyester colouring agents work for epoxy and vice versa.A flat sanding machine make a very good "remover-of-airbubbles-from-a -mould". Vacuum domes also help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
