Awesome product. It seems almost too easy. No release agent, self filling, fast setting.... what can go wrong? No, seriously.... what *can* go wrong? Any problems of not getting a bubble free surface? I mean visible weak spots or holes on the 'business end' of the cast? Could you do bigger objects like a head or would the rising bubble form too large cavities?
Foam can be tricky to get a bubble-free surface as it expands quickly. For molds with very detailed surfaces, we recommend sloshing in a thin layer of EasyFlo 120 to create a hard resin "skin" and then back that up with foam.
The foam in the video. Is that the hard/rigid casting foam which you can use for like making seat/handle etc? what lb/cubic foot is the hard/rigid foam?
@@brickintheyard Yes. but what type/density of rigid foam is used to say tools, seats, door-handles etc. is it the 15 lbs you make the prop from or is it enough with 10 lbs?
@@brickintheyard Thank you for your replys and help. What I want to do is cast a new handle or repair a handle for a tennis racket. that foam is not flexible but firm. I just want to know what density is used for a handle like that. I guess that is the 10lbs rigid?
*twin syringes with mixing nozzles?* _in a product like this, with specific mixing ratios and very short pot life, wouldn't it be interesting to sell it in alternative packages other than the regular gallons, such as large twin syringes similar to those thick and long industrial caulking guns, but with two of them attached side by side? you could attach disposable mixing nozzles and maybe have a product that is extremely easy to mix and apply, guaranteeing that the mixing would always be properly done, at the perfect ratio, and so fast that would provide more time for the user to brush it in the mold..._ _being it totally disposable or maybe even reusable, where you could maybe screw open the back of such containers to still allow the user to calmly measure how much of each part to use, but when it is time to actually apply he could count with a much easier, faster and proper mixing system_ _I am a layman, and I know you have specialists doing this for a very long time, so it is not really a suggestion, it is more of a curiosity on the difficulties or actual improvements something like this would provide or not_ _thank you_
Any of our 1:1 ratio resins and rubbers can be dispensed through meter mix equipment. We do supply refillable cartidges for PlasPak guns for just that purpose.
I didn't know that's how the foam actually expands 👍 pretty cool

This is all rigid foam in this video.
@@brickintheyard Yes.

@@benjaminjensen111 seat cushions and padding would be flexible foam. A car seat would typically be about 4lb while an arm rest would be about a 10lb.

What is the 6 lb density equivalent to?
50kg/m2, 75kg/m2 or 200kg/m2 ?
Unfortunately I don't know what that would be in Metric. :(
@@brickintheyard I goggled it.
