2. Painting
on concrete castings.
_______________________________________________________________________
I had a
customer this week that was having a problem with painting on their
concrete castings. They had
sealed the concrete prior to painting. From what I understand about
concrete sealers, most of them
contain silicone. Silicone will not allow anything to stick to surfaces
it is applied to.
My own experience with painting concrete stepping stones for my own
yard was to first keep the castings
damp for about 3 weeks so they will cure out very well and be strong,
then let them dry very well before painting.
I then used an oil based paint similar to what is used for concrete
floor paint. I have had these stones
in front of my home now for several years and they get walked on, and
are exposed to the worst sun and
wet conditions daily here in Arizona because they are in the watering
range where my wife has her
flowers in pots and also close to ground cover that has to be kept watered
daily. So far, they look almost
as good as they did several years ago when I painted them then.
Although
painting is a nice option, concrete colors are still the way to go for
the best results for most castings.

3. Working
on a new web site and new game product.
_______________________________________________________________________
I know this isn't about casting in molds, but as a plastic former, I
do a lot of other things with my plastics too.
I have been working in my spare time to build a mold for making a special
kind of board so that any map,
artwork, drawing, or poster could be turned into an instant game board.
This system is designed for the RPG
or War Game players but is also usable for those that want to create
strategy games or fun games for
kids as well. The new web site is at http://www.hexart.com
I will
have photos up on the site as soon as I can get the time to set up for
them over the next few days. The site is
already active, so the game system is already available to those that
want to buy them.
For those
that don't know, I also have a web site at http://www.elvingames.com
where I have several other
games for the whole family. Making games is one of my own personal hobbies,
and being able to make
my own molds for them is a plus, even though it takes time and money
to make the master molds, I enjoy it a lot.

4. Custom
soaps and chocolate molds.
_______________________________________________________________________
Custom soap and chocolate molds are part of what I do in the molding
business. We make quite a few molds
during the year for both soaps and chocolates for customers. Weddings,
Anniversaries, Birthdays, Business
Logo molds, and other events are most of what we do for molds. One thing
that is interesting about how I
make the custom molds here is that I am not limited on shape or sizes.
Since I am also an artist of sorts,
I can also model custom molds if needed. I don't do that as often as
it is more expensive, but I can do it
when it is needed.
Cost for an average custom chocolate mold done with our photo engraving
process starts at $75 plus shipping
and includes 6 single cavity molds with the order. More available at
time of order if needed for only $5 per each one
and if a larger production mold is needed I can work with you on that
too.
A semi
custom system I have for doing Monogrammed soaps and chocolate bars
is extremely affordable at only $12.95 for
the molds.
