Email Tip: TinSil 75 and Polyurethane for Better Holds?
Tips: 10/30/04: I’ve followed the instrucions on your site and would like to add my views to your collection. Starting with the material, the bondo resin works great, but I’m thinking of making the move to poly-urethane (what most professional grips are made of). It’s seemingly more expensive, but I don’t know how far it will go. Polytek recomended to me their poly 1510 with a dry filler (as thier most economical) or thier 1512 (for something even stronger and faster drying). Have you done any research with poyurethanes? Also, concerning the molds. The only way I’ve been able to get air bubbles out is by using a foam brush in a circular motion to work the silicone on and into the model (I’m using styrofoam and green oasis right now), first in a very thin layer, then later adding more evenly over the exterior for stregnth. Polytek has also recomended TinSil 75 for the mold material. This is more expensive but works out way nicer because it is a liquid silicone which you pour onto your m
