Hey the way I see it anything is worth a shot!!
Im Not totally pleased with the 2 materials I tried so far. The repro rubber was super fast and easy to mold and looked great but the compound is too soft IMO and also not sure of the compatibility with the way lube. Its also very pricey which defeats us home guys purpose. The castable urethane (from Smooth-on) set came out so so. Seemed kinda brittle maybe I didnt mix it right. Also for lack of mold release I used some silicone spray and wiped of the excess leaving ony a residue. Its possible it could have not played nice with the urethane. Who knows Im not a chemist
Guy - got your email. Id be glad to shoot you a set once I figure out what material /procedure to use. How bout you spring for and send me the goop and Ill make a whole bunch up??
Just have to figure out what material....!
