something I've been working on
« on: November 14, 2012, 09:57:21 PM »
I've been working on this for awhile. I got me some silicone rubber from Alumilite. I made a mold on one of my calls. Then started pouring a few barrels. These are the first few. They turned out decent but i have a few kincks i need to work out. Thanks for looking. Waylon.

These are really neat!   I especially like the bottom right one! Keep us updated on how this turns out and the process.     :gitrdone:

Nice job bud if you are not using a pressure pot it will be hard to get all the little nicks out. Keep it up its lots of fun.

They look good. How true do they turn? Is the bore accurate? ~Andre'

i would think the hole would be pretty accurate since if you also used alumilite as the resin.  great looking barrels

The hole is pretty close. I run a bit through it after i full it out of the mold and the only spot it takes anything of is the end i pour it from.

I know This is an old post but would the alumilite work if I tried making a mold for casting blanks with the 5/8 hole already in them?
