Resin Addict Forum

Hello again been a while.

I'm back looking to see if someone can recommend RTV suppliers here in the UK. I dont have the money or time to shop around and trail different companies so does any one have some one at John burn standard that does. Ideally I'm looking for platinum cure 30ish shore that isn't too expensive.

The long story;
I started out with tomps, but their QC was dire. I had a whole set of moulds that sweated silicone oil made casting a nightmare (a problem they now admitted they had)

Then I move to John burn and their stuff was great but they stopped selling the rtv25 for a softer 18shore which just gets ripped up to easily.

I went back to tomps, but just been burnt again. The rtv kicked in under 4mins and it cured in 1hr (its meant to be 10m/6hr). Lucky it was just two small moulds and I manage to get them double degassed in time.

I tired alchemie.com but wasn't impressed with their sales service and ebalta.co.uk made lots of promises and then never called me back.

If you're curious to what I've been making recently;

I Like DWR plastics Shore A28.

5kg for £55 inc postage. 1.5/ 2 hour cure time at 22 C or so. The catalyst needs a good shake before use, but its great for £11 per kg.

Lovely mechs too!
