  • In this video I show you all the steps you need to cast PU (polyurethane) rubber in almost any shape you want. For my tank track skateboard I needed rubber blocks for the tracks. I couldn’t find something that would fit so I decided to make my own..

      All these people are right. Adding a note in the title saying the actual language this is in is the expectation. Usually any non English video has a title in its own language or if not at least mention the language in brackets. If too lazy to to do so, I would explain people to complain about it, for good reasons.

    It's a bit late, but you should really vent or use gas masks with the right filter. Isocyanates are nasty for your lungs ;) and this resin (as most flexible PU's) catalyse with amines, which are also nasty for your lungs

    How good does it bind to itself? Could I pour multiple layers in the form to make a hollow object? I want to make a safe breecher tool for airsoft but think when I pour the head as one solid piece it would get quit heavy. So my idea was to pour bit by bit in the mold until I have a thick enough shell and fill it then with self expanding foam.

How do I prevent the polyurethane from seepign into the bearing races and destroying the bearing? is there a special type of tape or glue for that? Some company quoted me over $2000 to put a 5mm coating on some 40mm outer diameter bearings, but I want to save money and do it myself.

      And, as it happens, modern 'Dutch' & modern English come from the same linguistic roots. The nearest to this origin now is West Fresian. Only old (Viking) 0:53 Swedish/Norwegian & the indigenous Brithonic, & Gaelic, dialects that were pushed out to the marginal regions didn't have this origin.

Also, yes, we do borrow a lot of English words, this is something I find interesting especially if you compare it to something like German. They translate and/or Dub (not sub!) everything. In the Netherlands, shows (except kids shows) will be shown in their original language with Dutch subs.
