The next step in making the brass fire hydrant. Here is the completed box to make the injector fitting. Previously posted to the Facebook group, but Uploaded here for those who have had difficulty seeing it.
Making it real.

Polyurethane resin isn't the only material you can use in silicone rubber molds.

Working with liquid cement for plastic can be messy when trying to refill a dispenser bottle. Even with a funnel you still have spill issues. here is a useful kitchen tool for solving the problem.

A short tip for filling imperfections in a model part. Works as well for polystyrene.

In this video I show why a mold enclosure is needed. Since many of the people in the FB group are new to mold making I am covering very basic things. Once again I want to point out that the methods I am showing work well for me, but are not the only way this can be accomplished.

Posted here at the request of members in my facebook group. I will upload a number of others over the next week. I am no expert in this, but have learned a good deal in working with various compounds over the years and have decided to pass on what I can. If you find anything useful, great. If not, I'm sure there are many others out there who have what you need. Keep looking.
Awesome. thank you
Does this make the mix stable enough to be used in a silicone mold without damaging the mold itself?
I've used Acetone to make putty. Wondering, what works better/faster?
grind the abs plastic into fine powder for faster melting results.
Great tip!
Maan, U r a genius! I soo highly appreciate this quick, effective video. Im about to fix cracked, broken side body panels on my Freighliner truck.. this is the 3rd video i watched and your method makes all the sense to me as far as fixing this panel with the same material its made from. If its not ABS, its close enough Lol !! Thank You. Thank you. Thank you!! Surprised your video hasnt gotten more views. People throw away and replace so much stuff that they can repair.. Not to mention the hard to find parts that can be salvaged. This video, ones like it and TH-cam is such a Blessing.
Shavings FTW!
What does that mean? Good idea right? Lol
MEK, (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) will turn ABS plastic into a putty as well, but tends to dry and harden faster. MEK should be available at just about any hardware store at about $8 to $10 for a 22 ounce, (0.65 Liters), can. Definitely use this stuff outdoors or in a VERY well ventilated area. If ventilation is questionable, it probably wouldn't hurt to wear a properly rated respirator.
Wow!! Thanks so much. These tutorials keep getting better and better! Lol Im an old bodyman (havent done it in a while) and now need to repair some abs type parts .. this knowledge will surely help and faster than i thought
acetone works too.
I have tons of MEK since I work on fiberglass, and I've heard a lot about the ABS/MEK putty so Im going to give it a try, but my main doubt around all this is about the actual chemical impact of MEK over the plastic; doesn't it make the ABS lose some of its properties once it dries ? (I mean, if it gets physicaly weaker or vulnerable to wheather, etc).
Amazing 👏
Acetone comes in handy
good job
Thanks for posting here! (from fb mold group)
