MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 i was thinking about glueing some felt to the back of some lurecraft molds so they would slide on my work table better so i was wondering if i should use a certain glue or is superglue is ok. i was thinking maybe the glue would react to the silicone any help on this would be great thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 wonder if super glue will damage the mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampBaits Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Try it out, it probably works. I just don't think anyone from TU glues stuff to their silicone molds!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 You need a specialized glue made exclusively to adhere to silicone, which may very well be silicone based. My suggestion would be to dust the backs/base of your mold with talc or baby powder to facilitate sliding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawghunterbaits Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 monkey, I use a piece of plexiglass for my silicone molds, all I do is put down a few drops of household oil on the plexiglass and the molds slide like ici on ice!

Smallie Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Monkeyhunter - Why do you want the molds to slide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Felt On The Bottom Of Lurecraft Mold Would Help It Slide Under Pot Giving More Control Wich Would Make A Cleaner Pour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Cut a thin piece of masonite or plexiglass to the size of your mold and glue the felt to it then you can use it with all your molds and you keep your molds clean.

MDC Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 You can buy Loc-Tite silicone adhesive (not the silicone sealer) at any hardware or home improvement store. It comes in about a 3 inch tube like a toothpaste tube. It looks like and smells like clear silicone sealer but it's glue. I used it to mount my Ram-Mount for my graph on my fiberglass console so I wouldn't have to drill holes in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
