Speciality tools: Scale - Weighting 2 part materials for accurate measurement of materials results in the best curing Vac degasser - Removes air bubbles in for high viscosity materials. This is key to smooth surfaces, strong parts, and clear materials Roto-Caster - a special tool for shell molding Hand tools Sculpting tools, Stainless Hot Melt gun - fast fixup / sealing casting forms. Items that wear out: Sculpey - Useful for mold forms and plugging gaps Calking - Sealing mold forms Thick Cardboard - for making mold forms. foam board is also an option Legos - for making odd shaped mold forms Brown papers - Cover surfaces for easy clean up Paper towels - Most processes are messy, and are time critcal... fast clean up. Mixing wares - Stainless or disposable mixing containers speed up the mixing process for limited pot life materials Measuring cups - for volume based materials accurate measurement of materials is key to best curing Timer - To keep track of time critical pot life |
