Had a thought whilst waiting for the Tequila to kick in and I go to sleep.
Has anyone ever thought of making a mould, to make moulds?
Stay with me here.....
If you are a company (Lets say FW) that has a product with a high turn-over rate (say orc trucks) and you're only getting 50 castings before the mould breaks-down and you need to remake the mould, can you make a mould that would actually make the moulds to cast your product?
EG. 1. Ultrasil mould of an orc trukk wheel (might be lucky to get 100 castings)
2. Pinkysil mould made of the mould to make Trukk wheel.
3. Ultrasil mould is cactus after 60-100 castings.
4. Poor Ultrasil into Pinkysil mould (after liberal spray of Rocket Release), six hours later have
mould of wheel again.
5. make wheels in new Ultrasil mould.
The Ultrasil and Pinkysil are two different types of addition cured and condensation cured silicones, and a good coating of Releasing agent should stop them sticking.
I know from experience that Pinky and Ultrasil will not stick together when curing......
Anyhoo ramblings of a tired mad woman over
