curiousangler Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 or I was thinking of using a machine like this Craftsman CompuCarve Compact Woodworking Machine to carve patterns in to the wood then cover them with rtv silicone to make molds out of them, so basically I would have a set of wooden masters, does that sound alright or would it not work?

jmik26 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I think it would work. Kind of expensive, but if you got one already or need it for other things go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 It works fine, just make sure you cover the mold(paint it ) with a epoxy resin. even dry wood holds moisture and you wiil get bubbles, not to mention the finish will come out like garbage. There are a few people I dont that are very handy with a router and dremal and make lots of molds out of wood for production. there are also lots of people that make masters out of wood, again though make sure you coat it with epoxy so you get a niice finish on the silicon Delw Delw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
