Silicone casting?
I'd really like to copy the goggles I use for customs as they are a bit pricy from War-toys. How do I cast stuff in silicone, saw it mentioned in the Captain Cold custom thread and there used to be a guy here that did belts and stuff in silicone. I really need them to be flexable for my uses.

I am more interested in learning this for myself rather than paying someone to do it, kind of eliminates the cost effectiveness.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I would think it was just like casting plastic, but with mold release so it doesn't turn into a solid block.Comment

The biggest question would be what to use for the silicone? Regular old stuff like what is used for aquarium repair? I can do one sided pushmolds of the goggles.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I would use some quick setting mold silicone for the castings. You could probably paint the inside of the mold to get your color to stick to your silicone cast.Comment
