Brad S Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Great tutorial, thanks for posting it. Do you know if this type of silicone mold can be used to produce lead or tin jigs or would that be too hot? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redg8r Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Thanks for the positive feedback fellas, this how-to is an old one but I did try casting lead with this method & it works but the mold life suffers tremendously, Id be surprised to see more than half a dozen successful casts before it failed. Also, this particular method involves opening the cavity to pour which is quite dangerous, if you want to cast low temp metals w/ silicone, take Bruce's advice & look for a high-temp silicone for best results. Quantum Silicones offers a silicone I did test successfully using a 2 part mold. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASS13 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Excellent tutorial! I wonder if laminates could be poured with this method? ie pearl belly with black back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Don't see why not, just watch your piggies when holding the mold open to pour. if you try it, take some pics for us to see. Best of luck, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
