Dual Component Key Casting
Posted: Sat May 31, 2014 5:58 am
I'm interested in messing with low temperature metals to cast keys. It's just something I fancy having a mess with, and I'd really like to source the appropriate resins for casting instead of buying kits such as the High-Tech Key Casting System or the Quick-key system.
The more liquid resins in the High-Tech system are more my interest, but I have no idea exactly what they would be. I'm sure I'd be able to source them on hobby sites at a fraction of the price of the kit form, so I'm hoping someone can point me to the same products.
I find a couple of threads knocking around on these kits in google search, but I can't find anything specific on the what and where to source the chems. I'm thinking I need to look at quick hardening silicone, but it looks like I need to be more specific than that.
Once I have a source for the liquids, I'd be free to set my own kit up.
Anyone with experience in this?
