    hello Eric, btw, why use squish molds over regular ones?

    I just stumbled onto your channel. I really have not looked up resin casting channels. But your thumbnail grabbed me.
    Very interesting things in this video. I have been out of the business for 10 years and I am starting my new shop up. Well, right this moment. I'm actually getting ready to go in, today to get productive for the fist time in many years. This inspired me very much.
    I picked up on some things that you did in making the two molds of the round vents or ports. It was a EUREKA moment for me. I have been engineering in my head for a while. To do a similar mold on the same shaped part that I have wanted to do differently then it has been done before. Because I have never been happy 100% with the results. THANKS!
    You're got a new sub and I'm going to pass your channel on to others.
    Beautiful work.

    Maybe I missed it in the video, but why did you go with a squish mold vs an injection?

    Wow,awesome job on these Eric,& along the way you explained some of the pitfalls I've encountered while molding my lightsaber buttons- my best (& final) result was indeed injected,so thank you for sharing this process- fantastic work,sir.🏆

    3:16 I wonder how much these parts have deformed over the years sitting in the box and in what ev environment it was stored it?

    Great video and great job on the mold/cast. I think you need to create a 3d printer that prints sacrificial cardboard pieces. : ) Mahalo for sharing!

      Best to go to botzen.com and send me an email, it's rare that I actually go on Facebook.
