Hello all
this might be of use to some one trying to replicate something needed for retoration if a part is difficult to find.
The material is called Alginate,its the same stuff dentists use to make impressions and is used in special effects work to make a negative cast of a persons face.
What i really like about this stuff is it sets in minutes,and picks up minute details of the original.
You mix it with warm or cold water.(depending how fast you want it to set)
it comes as a powder
It will make a mould of literally anything.
You could take a mould of a part part made from plasticene or clay,and when you have your mould you could use resin or other material to create a hard permanent solid replica.
Well thats some more useless information for you,i used it and it works great!
