  • can you guys ship to the u.s.? and do you accept u.s. cards?

  • @TheManistheshit : Yes and yes. You can order through our website and pay using Mastercard, Visa or PayPal (sorry but we don't take Amex).

  • can you make model cars out of this stuff

  • @awesomenoob6281 : Yes, certainly. Either the bodyshell or the chassis. For the chassis you would generally make flat sheet and then cut the shapes out of the flat sheet. The bodyshell you would need a mould for. If you use the inside of an original lexan bodyshell then you'll get a nice part but it will be slightly smaller than the original.

  • can it be applied over a wood that has been painted with teak iol ?

  • @geo6642 : I don't know about teak oil but I know that wood (such as MDF which is often used) can be sealed with several layers of shellac (which is a wood sealer) and it works well. If in doubt, produce a small test mould and try it first for a release.
