Terry thanks for your advise. Like I said I'd say it is at least as firm as a Nerf football. I can hold it in my hand and at normal pressure and it doesn't compress. Squeeze a little and it does. As for the number of castings I figured I'd have to use more then one mold. I figured there...

Thanks for the info. I've done this before was worried that the silicon would have enough weight to distort the sides of the gun. Thanks again.

Good point. The only part I would be concerned about is the trigger. Any suggestions on how not to mess the trigger up? Thank for the help.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I have never done any casting before and don't own a pressure pot but at least I know what not to look into. Thanks.

What brand would you suggest? Price doesn't matter I'm looking for quality and something that won't destroy the original prop. Do you use the release on the prop gun or just the first side of the mold? Thanks for your help. - - - Updated - - - Thank you.

I thank all of you for helping me with my project.* Over the past month or so I have been researching casting.* Most of the research I've done has been watching videos on YouTube and Tested.* The things being cast in all videos I've watched have been hard.* As I've said the prop gun I bought is...

First let me thank everyone who's trying to help me with my project. I'm sorry if I was unclear on this from the beginning. I bought this screen used prop when Defiance was cancelled as part of their liquidation sale. I'm try to duplicate the gun for others who loved the show like I did but...

Re: Making a Mold of a Soft prop I'm trying to copy a prop gun I bought. The material was said to be rubber so I thought like a hockey puck and it turned out to be more like a nerd foot ball. My concern is the weight of the molding material changing the shape of the gun and not making a...

I'm looking for information on how to make a mold for a soft rubber prop. Think nerf foot ball material and then cast it in resin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Terry. I will take your advice, any suggestions on which thread I may have the best luck with? Also what is RTV? I'm not familiar with it.

It may be a little stiffer but not by much. I was little shocked. I really hope someone does have some idea's on this because I would really like to make the replicas for folks.

I have good news and bad news for everyone. Good news, I won Nolan's gun at the auction and I do want to make replica's of it. Bad news I have no idea how to. When I bought it, the auction said it was made from rubber. I was thinking hockey puck they were talking nerf foot ball. I want to...

You'd have to think that the original was probably a real bone saw but with all the handling and abuse it would suffer in production they had to make more because the orginal would begin falling apart. Also sometimes I think they watch the forums and just like to screw with us. LOL

I full understand, just let me know when your ready. I've seen the images of the Pinder knives you've already done and they truly great. I can't wait. :)
