Re: The Eighth Passenger
Thanks friends,
I have tried in making silicone molds, jacketed fiberglass. The product material is a resin which hardens in 6 minutes and has mechanical characteristics similar to ABS. I cast only once. The surface is very smooth, as the model, but the last millimeter the tips of some teeth have failed, because of a small bubble of air. An expert explained to me that must be achieved this tips with a small brush, during casting, to allow the resin to reach those areas.
.
As the teeth of the monster are chrome, I must try a resin with aluminum powder, rather than paint with chrome paint, which is more problematic. This new resin after it has been polished, could shine as a chromed metal. Someone has already tried?
