robbor Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I have been playing with casting for years, made my own alum master molds and made jewelry style molds out of the white spin casting silicone. As well as made my own stainless bottom pour pot. I just aquired an actual spin casting machine and about 6 mold frames mostly 9", a 12" missing the tops and a 16", but no vulcanizer. Ive been vulcanizing my small molds in the oven. Id like to hear from some of you spincasters. Im wondering about the new silicones, preform gate runners and a few other things. Im going to try molding most of my gates and runners in. Id love to see TU have a dedicated spin cast forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 There's some spin cast molds in the for sale section - mostly for ice fishing jigs. Wish I had one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedHed Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'd like to find a local vendor in Southern California for a spin casting machine..... Think spincasting would be a lot easier then multi pouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgecrusher Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I know that Cast ind would make one, inc the master for 300ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty's Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Mold material is about $30-50 for good stuff. Should not cost more than $100 to make a 9" and no more than $125 to make a 12". Recommend you find someone who knows what they are doing. Making the molds is a learned process and easy to eff up. I have 2 machines, I don't spincast for others anymore so pse don't ask. Recommend you learn how to cut the channels, don't think the pre done stuff works as good. Contenti is a good source for stuff they are online. If you're missing mold tops then you may as well throw the bottoms away you won't get far with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
