For "GAMER: The Podcasting" listeners:
Quick tips for making safe Axe heads using silicone mold rubber and expanding foam. The bulk of the vital ingredients come from a company called "Smooth-On", but I swear I don't work for them. They just have the coolest stuff for this. ( check out their site: smooth-on ) The sad part is, it ain't cheap. But the results are always terrific if you take your time and do it safely and correctly. The following pictorial / tutorial shows you everything I did to replace a deadly wood chopping axe with a harmless foam replica. I even show you my mistakes. >_< 'Hope this inspires you to make Foam Double-headed Battle axes and stuff ! With a single mold, you can make Hundreds! Weeeeeee ! .. |

a mold that can be used to pour in more "liquid" type casting goop,
You're going to find Smooth-On
and other companies talking about
the flexibility and hardness of their materials using the "Shore
Hardness" scale.
Check out THIS PICTURE to get an idea of what
their numbers mean.
