Hey Everyone,
This is my first post on the forum so I apologize if this is in the wrong spot. I am curious to know if anyone has any idea what material is used for the overmold material on electronics instruments like digital multimeters or the bumpers on power supplies. I want to use it in a project of mine that isn't actually related to a prop build but I watch tested on youtube regularly and I think this is the RPF they speak about. I'm thinking it could be some kind of urethane (seems to stiff to be rubber) but I honestly have no idea since I'm not familiar with materials that would be used for shock absorption like this. I figure if anyone can give me an idea of the overmold material used and then also the best methods for casting it myself that this could be the place! I've included pictures of what I'm talking about below (orange material), thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
Best Regards,
Mezz
