Fake trees (Silicone Rubber Molds)

January 29th, 2010

A customer called recently asking how large of the silicone rubber mold could possibly be made. I told him that the largest item I have ever seen made have been life sized palm trees. Actually I’ve seen quite a few palm trees molded in silicone rubber molds. Typically these trees are used in Las Vegas hotels.

Some times if you go into a hotel in Vegas you will smell something that reminds you of white glue.  A lot of “real” tree leaves are preserved with a chemical similar to white glue- and the trunks of these trees are often molded in our AM 128 Silicone Mold Making Rubber.

Grind up old molds to save money!

December 10th, 2009

You can run your old molds through a meat grinder to recycle old silicone rubber molds.  Use the ground silicone to fill in the non critical parts of a mold such as the corners.  This can save quite a bit of $ when making molds.
