Your out antique shopping and low and behold, there on the shelf is one of those great old fashioned glass seltzer bottles like they used to squirt each other with on those old three stooges shows. Whats more, it actually works! Save for the rubber seals in it that have completely turned to stone over the years. So how on earth are you going to ever find replacements?
Some Odd Custom Molded Rubber Product
In fact, it can be anything for that matter that is in need of some odd custom molded rubber product. Or maybe even you are working on some new invention that requires a one of a kind molded rubber product that you just can't buy in a store or online.
Buy What You Need Locally and Online
Now you have the option of making your own custom molded rubber products right in your own home using simple materials that you can buy on line and at your local hardware store. Items like modeling clay and simple spray paint.
Three Easiest Types Of Rubber To Work With At Home
The best types of rubber to use to make custom molded rubber products is either liquid latex, two part polymer rubber mix or silicone rubber that you can buy at your local hardware store in tubes. However; be forewarned that all are messy to work with and once set or cured are impossible to remove from fabrics.
Modeling Clay Works Great For Simple Molds
If your in luck, you have the rubber item that needs to be replaced. If this is the case you may be able to get away with simply making an impression in the modeling clay by pressing it into it. Give the impression a light coat of "high gloss" spray paint and it's done.
Create Your Own Custom Molded Rubber Product
Simply mist it with silicone spray and pour your latex or two part polymer blend rubber in. Or you can try squeezing some silicone rubber into the impression from a tube but you will find that silicone rubber is very unforgiving to work with.
