Hi all, just wanting to know if anyone has ever made custom 2 or 3 piece moulds to cast latex or silicon rubber with? why i want to make a custom rubber boot for an air bellows for a type4 into type 3 conversion, i have a good idea on how to go about it but expert advice would be appreciated.

Cheers Damo.

This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

yup, have made moulds out of ali with the channels precision machined in on a mill, but for easy do it at home, 18mm mdf/custom wood, get a router and bit the right shape you're after, set it the depth, router out the channels then coat the wood with a decent 2 pack or good epoxy spray paint to seal it up and make it shiney, can bolt a couple together for two part/sandwich type moulds, have done both succesfully... good luck

how low can a dub go...
