igot this idea and i want to try to make some stuff in plastic. i was thinking vacuum molds or injection molding. what would i need to just make some small items. like 3-4 inches big. i figure some molding foam. and some release agents but i dont really have a clue where to start.

this stuff allows you to make molds out of

plastics, then you can pour into them

and depending on how you mix

it depends on how flexible it is when it comes out

Smooth on is one company, they also have

a website, took me a while but it came back to me

I know they have different materials that yield

different degrees of flexibility

Try locating synair products. They make molding and casting urethanes that may be what you are looking for. The local plastics place over here sells their products. Im sure if you contact the company they can tell you where to get their stuff locally.



Good Luck!
