Blu-stuff

[irwit]

Hi all

 

Been doing some casts using onymaru and greenstuff however the time it takes for green stuff to cure is annoying me. I found the blu stuff which obviously cures much quicker but it seems people are only using it for creating the cast and not the final version, is there any reason for this or would it be good to make the casts from instead of the greenstuff?

Go and watch the tutorial videos for it at master of the forge here: http://masteroftheforge.com/

 

Depending on which type you've been looking at you'll see they're both relatively soft once cured. The liquid one is especially rubbery (I think they're silicone based, bit of a guess though) so not too suitable for casting model parts, also not sire if/how it'd glue.

 

Any specific questions about it speak to Lamenter (he's on here and runs the MotF site), he has a lot of experience using it to cast and press mold all sorts of bits.

yeah thats where i saw it used but looked quite solid really. I guess its not going to be suitable though it it has so much flex, thanks anyway for the help.

 

cheers

 

Will.

am sure i've seen people speed up gs curing by making heaters with light bulbs and cans to 'bake' it - no idea where

High School chemistry, most reactions accelerate in the presence of heat. The epoxies will polymerize faster the warmer they are.
