...........You can get syringes by the bagfull at farm stores that have animal health departments............
We have "rural King" stores here in the midwest.

Thanks for the tips on syringes, Shotgun! They're on my shopping list. (Honest, Officer, I only inject resin in my veins . . . Yes, I am a slot car junkie.)

Great info Dave. I seemed to have missed the part where you pour the resin into the molds. Can you show or explain that to us? Are you pouring the resin while the 2 halves are together into an opening or pouring into each half separately then "sandwiching" the 2 halves together?
Regards, Chet

Hi Dave, Say, do you glue the sprue to the pieces you mold? If not, what keeps the silicone from plugging the vent in the area between the sprue and the piece? Seems the resin would be obstructed from its flow thru the venting if the rubber gets between the two?
Thanks,
Tom
