According to your suggestion about the materials last time, I had found information about what is is, what is its final product looks like, and how do we make something from it.
Paraffin wax, as we use for last DTS1 molding does not seem to interest me. At the fact that we have used it once and I would be more appreciated if they are transparent.
(PS. I have just known that it is edible!!?)
Silicone; I expected it would be something like a soft jelly, but still stay in shape (as we always think of the silicone in bra or something like that XD) But as I found, people use it with plaster as a mold for resin. They said that it is just the same as rubber mold (it is a real name of rubber liquid) does but much better.
So, what I manage to use is, Resin or Polyester Resin: as its name it is a kind of plastic, normally come in form of a sticky clear liquid with strong smelling and it is poisonous. We need to mix the polyester resin and its hardener in order to change them into solid. The final product of it will be transparent unless we added some substances to colour it or even make it opaque white.
I have asked stationary shops and any hobby supply shops around my area, but couldn't find any. The shop owner said that they used to sell it but it is smell too bad and when it is left for a long time, it will be solidified and can not sell anymore. I will try looking in website if someone knows where I can buy it and if it is not flooding in that area.
Process:
By now, I was making a mock up by plasticine which will be use in molding plaster and then casting resin later.
I started with the base first..
,then smoothen them
make a hole for the tube (I am going to use the similar tube anyway, hope I can find one with same size..)
I also made an extension at its neck and these strips to help it holds itself on the spray bottle.
The mock up looks a bit rough here, but I believe that I can smooth the final object with sandpaper later :)
ps. My family is going to leave bangkok tomorrow morning (or today if the flood is coming faster than we expected) and will come back on this sunday if possible. I'm not sure whether I will able to connect internet or not, sorry about that. Please take care yourself :)

Again, fantastic material investigation!...
ReplyDeleteBut now I would like to see sketches of what you are going to make.. It cannot possibly be only this little container??!
Why about the leak of the contianer for the leak of container for the leak of the contain...?
Have a safe retreat and I hope to see you Monday
