I wasn't sure where to post this question as it isn't necessarily scale specific, etc.
Recently I purchased some tires that were cast with 60 shore urethane (designed for use with static models)
Never having handled anything cast in 60 shore, I wasn't sure how much stiffer that would be than 40 shore and thought that I would give them a whirl.
:D
The sidewall and tread detail on them looks great, however, as no surprise, they are notably stiffer and I think they are going to be a wee bit too hard to use on the rear, after mounting and truing in their current hardness state.(although the current outer skin has some good "tack" to it)
I wasn't aware of any method of "softening" cured urethane - but thought I would throw it out to the group and ask?
Soooo... that being said, any options besides making a mold of these and learning to cast my own tires?
:think:
