RiverMan Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Wondering where you guys are getting the best deal on RTV. The last stuff I bought thru Lurecraft and it seemed ridiculously spendy. Thank you! Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtrs5kprs Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I have bought from various industrial sources, but you need to be very specific and very careful about what you are buying. Have been using the large kit from Lurecraft lately, it is a bit higher than the ind, sources but it works very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hi Jed, Keep an eye on mix ratios, ive noticed the 1 to 1 mixes are usually a tiny bit more expensive, but if you dont have scales or wanna bother with tricky mixing, the added cost is definately negligable. Smoothon does offer an excellent 1:1 mix, i use thier Oomoo 25, it has a faster cure time (4 hours) Ive also noticed that platinum based silicones run higher than tin based (obviously :oops: ) so watch for that. if you do have scales & dont mind mixing 12:1 or other ratios, you can find good silicones around..... Quantum Silicones is one that comes to mind. I hear from professional casters that most silicones are bought & resold from GE (General Electric) who may have some sort of claim to the compound, but for small quantities Smoothons mix is very easy to use & theyve always been prompt with shipment. (for me anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
