Small parts are kind of tricky because they cost almost as much a medium ones. What is a small part? How about something smaller than a breadbox. The following lists should get through a project about that size.
Regardless of the type of small part you are trying to build, you will also need to make sure you have:
|
| |
Mold Releases |
| |
The most successful system is our Parting Wax and PVA System.
|
|
|
| |
Mold Prep |
| |
The shininess and smoothness of your part a direct result of the quality of your mold surface. If it needs some touching up, you will need our Mold Polishes.
