Hybrid_From_Hell Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Hi all.... I have an idea for a further development / strengthening product for Land Rover differentials . To move this from the warped idea in my little mind I need to knock up some prototype parts. What I need is something a bit like Plasticene - ie semi solid workable etc, that when i have it where i want it -if then left it go solid so i can then remove it and shape / mill it etc then get the finished units solidworked / and then phyiscal prototyped ???? any ideas of products that i might be able to use ??????????????

Superpants Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Super Sculpey- Widely used in making props, puppets and the such like. I'd usually buy this sort of thing from Tiranti https://www.tiranti.co.uk/Products/003d0011001a00100002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrovernuts Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Sounds like you need Devcon! Techsil | Devcon You can mould to shape and then it sets solid. I have seen it used for many a bodge repair on ships and can be machined after it has set. Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 WOWZER !! That Milliputt stuff is amazing - like blue tack and stays put wherever you use it and then goes properly rock solid !! Perfect for the new prototyping which is not underway - Thanks all every day is a school day - never heard of this stuff and it amazing what it says it can be used for !!!!!!!!!!
