Leftovers

Postby ddyke » Sun Oct 20, 2013 1:41 pm

I was making an inner mold out of a type of Urethane. I already had a silicone outer mold, but I did not want the inner to stick and risk losing or damaging the outer mold . I used a material that will not stick and it did not. I always mix too much for a job as I don't want to do a second batch. What to do with the leftovers? I got out my tire molds and filled them all up, but still had some left. I used the rest to start a mold for another body I had. I am not sure how good this is for tires for slots but it will make nice tires for barriers if nothing else. I can also use them to test if the material is great for tires - go for the obvious. If I make more tires, I will use the leftovers to finish the body mold.
