" Do you hot glue the parts to the glass? "
no, i use a small drops of super glue
" I see little to no pour-spots on your molds for the smaller stuff such some lense-parts. How do you get your resin "in" "
i think your talking about the shuttle bay doors mold ? thats what i call a squishy mold, I'll pour resin in one side and place the other half in place, always pour in extra so your sure there is enough resin inside, the excess will squish out
i can do a short viddy on some of this stuff.
im currently using smooth cast 305 resin , i also use smooth on rebound 25 rtv, but have recently switched to polytek tinsil 80-30 , i prefer platinum based silicones but i got a smokin deal on 45 pounds of the 80-30 which is tin based.
ive never had problems with shrinkage, but i have been letting my rtv sit in the vac chamber for at least 10 minutes ( this advice was courtesy of IEDBOUNTYHUNTER ) i have not had any further issues with bubbles being created after it was poured in the mold.
i have not pressure cast this resin yet, i have not really needed to, the bubble troubles i am having are undercuts where the bubbles cant release.
Thanks for the offer, I´d be all over a trade if I wouldn't´t have a "real" set of macros already
And that SP is awesome!!! Would be interested in a few clear cast cones, if possible?
hmm, i can add the scope cones in with payment for your kit
