Do you sell kits with any translucent colors? For instance clear plastic with some added dye?

Hi there ...I am trying to solve an issue regarding the plastic limb tips on crossbows ...I have upgraded to a more expensive string and also made it an inch shorter for more power but the cost is the plastic tips blow because they are thin and cheap. I want to shape and mould tips like that of the more expensive crossbows ...would this be ideal or is there another compound that will serve the problem better ...cheers

Trying to cast simple 3/8 washers ... What should I use for a mold material?

[SmoothOnInc]

@DiamondTattooInk What material are you going to cast the washers out of?

[CurottoCanMaster82]

What is the mold cavity made of? It looks to be wax.

[SmoothOnInc]

@CurottoCanMaster82 It is Vytaflex mold rubber

[allboutme630]

How hard is this material????? I have to make a shoe high for a high heel shoe... is it possible.. is this strong enough to be a shoe heel???

[SmoothOnInc]

@allboutme630 It may be strong enough, depending on the configuration of the heel. If, after testing, you find you need a harder mater, we have dozens to choose from.

[TehJayZ]

Is the plastic safe to serve food on?

If not, any reccomendations? I'd like to create custom serving trays for cold appetizers and shot glasses. It wouldn't have to handle anything hot, though I'd like to be able to rinse/wash it in the sink.

[SmoothOnInc]

@TehJayZ This material does not have a food a food safe rating. Our TASK 11 does have a DRY food contact rating - this may or may not be suitable for your application.

[theclarkmanman]

can you give me a name of a suppler in California US

[SmoothOnInc]

@theclarkmanman Sure - Reynolds Advanced Materials at 1 800 348 4349

[Schoening91]

Does it make any fumes?

[SmoothOnInc]

@Schoening91 You should have room sized ventilation when using urethane materials.  Some of our customers choose to use a respirator as well.

[pabrad1]

actually this resin is quite strong; but if I'm after super tough & super strong, I tend to look at Smooth-On's TASK Series resins for more materials options.

[eddie2000ad]

i would like to know if your plastic is tough enough to not shatter when dropped, i am making diy helmets and i want to make one out of your plastic but only if it is strong enough for true helmet qualities

[SmoothOnInc]

@eddie2000ad You may want to investigate our Smooth-Cast 65D - it has a higher impact resistance.

[itsallgroovy]

That was easy! Thanx for sharing :)

[AlisFootballLtd]

do you have a uk supplier?

[SmoothOnInc]

@AlisFootballLtd We have a distributor in the UK - Bentley Creative Chemicals. They can be found at bentleycreativechemicals(dot)c­om

[BreakWatcher]

@SmoothOnInc hi. just wanna ask. did you carve the pattern yourself?!

[howitzerm777]

its strong???? hard??



[LostandFoundTravel]

@howitzerm777 VERY.

[coojstar69]

how strong is the plastic after ? is it stong enuf to be used as a rifle stock ?

[LostandFoundTravel]

@coojstar69 I don't think so. It might be too brittle. There are some resins I have on order that seem to be tough but with a small amount of give in them. Will let ya know.

[hunyshero74]

@coojstar69 I'm building a prototype rifle stock and need to know what type of liquid plastic resins to use, hwat materials to make the mold out of and where to buy them in thailand. I think if I knew the names of the various things needed I could buy them locally, but I'm just not sure. Can some one give me some much needed advice please?

[TTTgundams]

nice video but the elevator music kind of ruins it. Where can i find your products? I live in France!

[SmoothOnInc]

@TTTgundams We have a distributor in France called Creation Silicone. If you go to the distributors page of our website, you can get their contact information.

[murillomkra]

Hallelujah!!!

[8comicbookman8]

How sturdy is the final product?

[silenceisgod]

Does this expand at all when it solidifies?

[SmoothOnInc]

@silenceisgod The resin does not expand. We have expanding foams which do.

[ThePolypop]

***** Super job on the video *****

[silenceisgod]

@ThePolypop Yeah, it looks exactly like "how It's made"

[ikuyo1comic4man]

what plastic are you making

[SmoothOnInc]

@ikuyo1comic4man Smooth-Cast 300, a urethane plastic.

[thenewpropaganda]

what is the mould made from

[SmoothOnInc]

@thenewpropaganda This is a Reoflex 30 urethane mold.

[sonicfreak04]

could I use this to make gold,silver,and bronze coins?

[SmoothOnInc]

@sonicfreak04 You can look into cold casting. We have a video demonstration you can find on our Channel page. We also have a video on how to make a 2-piece mold of a coin.

[HenniferHlopez]

i want to cast a children's toy from one of my sculptures. can you recommend a product that is toxic-free or otherwise safe for a child to play with?

[1960camper]

i made a maximum overdrive head and a grill gard to the rubber duck mack and the duck

[Neowolf3]

does smooth cast 300 work best with urethane rubber or silicone rubber molds? or does it make a difference? (im just learning the basics)

[SmoothOnInc]

@Neowolf3 You can pour SC300 into either type fof mold, but silicone molds do not require a release agent.  Urethane molds do requires a release be used.
