Frank Country: USA | Posts: 6070 Terrell Fireman Posted - 01/01/2021 :  3:33:06 PM     Thanks, Frank!! I finally got what I needed to make the castings of the scrollwork Monday. I'm using an Alumilite Mini Casting kit. I've used it once before back when I was working on my machine shop, 11 or 12 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday. Who am I kidding? I barely remember yesterday like it was yesterday. I let the kit set for a couple of days trying to see if I could think of something else I may want multiple castings of. That thought was leading me nowhere fast. So I decided to go ahead with it. I was concerned, the parts being so small, that the rubber may bleed underneath the parts. So I used some double sided tape to secure them. I also threw in a broom, figuring maybe I could use more of them somewhere. And if I ever decide to build a broom factory, I'm all set. I also threw in the part on the right, not expecting it to do well, being so thin. Then I poured the rubber. It says to let the rubber cure for 8-18 hours. I left it for about 22. But when I removed the masters it still seemed a bit tacky. So I let it sit about 22 hours more. You can also see the part I was concerned with (now on the left) doesn't look so hot. But after pouring the resin it didn't come out half bad. I don't know what I'll use them for but I'm set. I actually only need one more of the small scrollwork pieces but 11 more of the larger ones. The problem here is trying to mix such a small batch of resin accurately. Country: USA | Posts: 2326 Bernd Fireman Posted - 01/01/2021 :  5:12:43 PM       Terrell, I'm impressed with how nice they turned out. Looks like about 1oz of part A and 1oz of part B would do it.

Country: USA | Posts: 4075 Terrell Fireman Posted - 01/01/2021 :  6:45:36 PM     Bernd, I'm using a 1/4 teaspoon and trying to only use 1/2 of it. Which is still maybe a bit too much. I'm only casting one part at a time now. It's the silicone rubber that came with the kit, Carl. Country: USA | Posts: 2326 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/01/2021 :  7:12:39 PM     They look nice Fred. Very thin castings are always harder to do, but with a bit of clean-up, should be fine. And may I suggest carving some lines on the broom head to represent the straw. Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2629 sgtbob Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/02/2021 :  05:32:20 AM     Fred, The castings look GREAT!!
