Re: Salvaging drytransfers? Success!!

Re: lost styrene casting

I've found this site to be informative, since I have considered doing some castings for key pieces once I have time for modeling again. http://home.onemain.com/~thebackshop/plastics.htm Charlie

Re: lost styrene casting

Yes. The way to get multiple castings from one styrene master is to use the brass casting from the original master as the new master for the rubber molds. Of course, each step involves a little more
