OK I think I have this worked out now. The mix, degass and pour is perfect, but the fill and air escape holes on my molds need to be altered as I am still trapping air here. I will look at doing that tonight.
Amazing job!
What do you think they used for the 1989 movie shoe? Do you think they used translucent silicone during that time? or do you think they used transparent water clear urethane rubber like you've done?
Your end result is super clear, virtually the same as the 2011 shoe. Why did the 1989 shoe look so white/icey in the movie? When you see some pictures of the screen used props after a number of years, you can see they are quite clear, but in the movie they seem to have a white pigment to them. Either that, or maybe they painted the area behind the clear soles white?
I brought that up earlier. They were more translucent in the movie. Cavx just hasn't sourced a material to make them.
Cavx and I have both found a car dye which is for vinyl and material, which works well (on some random things I tried) but the colour is too dark and being in a spray canister, cannot be mixed down to a lighter shade. We haven't been able to find one where you can choose the tint colour or we can mix our own. Have you ever seen one of those dyes in a liquid container? The closest in the right colour I could find was a textile paint. Perhaps the product is not available in Australia?

WOW! Is Agate Grey the colour we want?
It might be better to use CMYK rather than RGB as most print places tend to use the former.Could we create a grey scale in paint to work out a close colour match? I would suggest simply posting a photo except everyone's monitors are not calibrated to the same level (colour temperature), so will look different. If we work in RGB levels in paint, at least we have a level playing field. Even though the image may look different on a computer monitor, when taken to professional print place, should be able to get close reference colour card.
Fair call. I only suggested RGB because I use Paint to create custom video test patterns. True white is RGB 255 (video white is RGB 235) and therefore a grey at say 80% true white is RGB 204. My thought process was just to get a close value of the grey we need.It might be better to use CYMK rather than RGB as most print places tend to use the former.
