Your help is greatly much appreciated.
AFV News has a great series of line drawings. They cost 2 bucks a piece with a minimum order of 5 prints I believe. Here’s their site:
I also have some of these prints for sale, including I believe the one you are looking for, e-mail me and I’ll send you the list that I have for sale. I’m asking a buck a piece.
Bare Metal sells resin and mold making rubber. They advertise in FSM all the time.
Look up Alumilite corp on the web- they distribute dow corning mold rubber and thier own casting resin.Their website has some good casting info. I would also recommend a company called Smooth-on for mold rubber and casting resin. Smooth on is my choice for resin.
Try www.micromark.com for their free catalog. Also has all the other model tools you could ever want.
Hi, I’m a new returner to the hobby. I am using Alumilite two part liquid rubber and would like some opionons on the other kinds of rubber manufactures there are. I know of Dow, but what exactly do all those strange numbers really mean. U understand tear strength, but that’s about it. Ihave looked at micro-mark in the FSM and the price for the liquid rubber is less than Alumilite. What other types are there and which ones are best. I know of a company called Smooth-on, but is it better,cheaper, stronger?
