Hi all,
I've been toying with the idea of melting down unwanted sand-green dino parts
and casting some parts with the ABS. Not looking for a perfect reproduction,
just something close.
The mold needs to be flexible to be able to remove the original and cast
pieces. Some sort of high-heat silicon, maybe?
I've seen the posts about the heat experiments, but I can't find any prior
posts on this subject. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone's tried this
before.
Thanks,
Gary
p.s. I know this is a sin to some people, but I really hate dino parts.
