Basically, the silicon mold is by Alumlite/Dow Corning. You see, Alumlite purchases the Dow Corning MS III RTV Rubber compound and then repackages it into consumer-friendly quanities. Here is there website: http://www.alumilite.com/. As for the liquid plastic itself, I am using a liquid resin compound from TAP Plastic called, "Fast Casting Liquid Resin". Their site is here: You can purchase the items from the appropriate websites or you can purchase the liquid plastic from your local TAP Plastic store and the RTV Compound may(may) be purchased from a hobby shop. Also note that Alumilite sells a liquid plastic compound but the cost is much more then TAP Plastic's. --- In Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com, "joshdewinter" <joshdewinter@y...> wrote: > > > I made new gears by making a silicon rubber mold of the best > original > > gear.
