This is amazing, I’ve been looking for this information for weeks. Thank you!

Hi Alimilite, could you guys do more videos about your Urethane products?
Most of your videos (and most on the intenet overall) focus on epoxy which makes it very frustrating to learn more about those product lines and best use.

Id love to hear more on things like:
Which of your Urethanes are best for various types of products.
Safety precautions of Urethane VS Epoxy.
Sanding advice.
Which Dyes and other fillers work best with urethanes.
Etc.

Basically any video youve done on specifically epoxy, would be great to see a similar video on your urethane range.

Hey, what an awesome channel thanks so much!

I have a question i need to make a rubber bushing that work as an shock observer in an electric scooter

What the best material for me to choose?

I’m familiar with casting epoxy so doing it it’s not an issue but choosing the right product in the right hardness it’s a no clue for me

It has to hold up a 2 persons al least

I'm still over whelmed. I'm trying to start making some projects with my kids. We want to make ninja holds. The toughest one would be the balls. Picture a softball with an eye bolt out of the top. My plan was to position the eye bolt down leaving a flat bottom like the egg. My question would be. Is silicon stretchy enough that I could get the much wider ball out? Would that be too flexible to hold shape? Maybe I should go with something a little thicker and plan to cut the side of the mold to get the objects out? I plan to use cheap flower foam balls for the mold. I'm not sure what they are made of which I assume puts me in Tin cure.

Good video. What you recommend on soft plastic swimbait. It's about 6" long and it's very soft. What silicone what you recommend to make a master

[kimberlycasey]

Regarding “Glass in; Glass out” I’ve heard of spraying your master with a quick coat of polyurethane to create that gloss finish for the mold without the effort of sanding… but would that have an effect on cure inhibition? Would doing so limit me to a tin cure silicone?

I need to make some knobs or handles for various typewriters. They are hard plastic and 1.5 to 3 inches in diameter. What type of silicone should I use. Thank you.

Hey I’ve been watching your videos and am trying to determine the shore hardness of a wristband I’m trying to make. Do you have any idea what could be typical for the live strong type wristbands? I was thinking maybe A 30. Thanks!

So if I wanna make a mold of a 3d printed master, what silicone should I use or I should not use silicone at all?

[marthawashington]

Can you please advise how to repair a mold that say an edge ripped off due to over torching while trying to remove bubbles...
Specifically, Is it possible to fill the area or missing pice with Platinum Silicone to restore the mold or is it not worth the time and effort? And Yes, I know i should not have torched it to begin with, leason learned :)-
Thank you.

For casting a 3d-printed resin figure, could the figure be sprayed with some sort of primer or sealant to get around the sulfur content? I'm trying to choose the right material to make some molds.

[duwayneshearer]

Just wondering, if the Amazing mold maker when it is finished, should feel tacky? Is that normal?

I just got pressure pot, can handle up to 60psi 19liters. Interesting which air compressor now to buy..
