So, does the casting process ruin your pretty NOS parts? that would be a shame.

Marty,

They will be absolutely and completely useless from the time I embed them into a proper clay until the time I pull them from the finished mold-then they will be ready to go back in their protective hiding places, or right onto a glof medallion contender immediately before a show-no worse for the mud pack or the multi-sided soak in vacuum inspired effervescent silicone!

The molding process is no more detrimental to the original part than handing it to another enthusiast who recognizes its rarity, and respects your search for it.

Too funny, Will! Take pictures as you go!

Marty,

This is just like the old plaster casting we used to make as kids. The mold material is a silicon rubber that is mixed (carefully) from two parts and poured around the original piece. Cured, the mold will peel right off the original.

Glad to hear no parts will be harmed. Thanks for taking on this project.

This is what Will is working with.

Did this every happen, the reproduction knob set? I realize this is a very old posting :-)
