@minitzonthesun You cannot in a normal mold. The paint would boil and make a mess. You might be able to do it in some of the nicem low temp molds, however, I wouldn't try it. Your best bet there is an RTV, or room-temperature mold that you pour by hand and let sit overnight and then pour resin into instead of using a centrifugal machine.
@donaldleggett Well, they survive the process when i send them off to Historifigs to do my master molding. Running the silicon molds is a milder process.
@donaldleggett I do cast my masters in pewter, I do all my casting in pewter. I run the master mold a dozen times or so. Enough to make a production mold and then some casts to set aside for safe keeping.
Whats the tat on your right arm, do you have a picture of it?

Nice video! Thanks Sir :)
How about vulcanizer? I know vulcanizer machine doing a progressive pressure and heat the silicon rubber at 150° C

Wow that was pretty cool! I've played mini games for years and never had any clue as to how they were cast. Thanks!

One more question(s). What temp is the oven running at? How long are you preheating for?
donaldleggett 5 months ago
@donaldleggett The oven for vulcanizing is 320F and preheats until it gets to 320! ;-)

@rhyflermaerch Heh...Not the brightest question I've ever asked...
Do your greens normally survive the master mold process?

@rhyflermaerch One more question..and I swear I'll leave you alone (for today anyways)..
How tall is the vulc can? I'm assuming appox an inch high..and the top plate with the 3/16" insert applies the pressure for the average 1" high mold?

That was awesome. Video of the year.
I do have a couple of questions.
Do you cast master in pewter?
How many times do you spin a master to get the production castings?
Also double posted to TMP...
