Jewelry Making: Rubber Mold Making

Rubber Mold Making- Clear silicone RTV

with Vic Joyner

Friday April 25th & Saturday April 26th

This seminar will demonstrate the construction of clear silicone rubber molds from a variety of pattern materials, including metal models, hand carved waxes, RP patterns and CNC milled patterns.  And then use those molds to create new duplicate models with the new HD material – a technological breakthrough that replaces injection wax.  You’ll learn tips and tricks to making and cutting rubber molds, as well as solving the problems of incomplete injections, breakage, shrinkage, and irregular surfaces in your patterns.

This seminar is part of the program at the Bench Jewelers Conference & Expo, April 24 – 27, 2008 in Los Angeles.  For details on all the seminars offered, more conference & expo information, and to register go to: www.BenchConference.com.
