Books about rubber mold making

Hi I'm looking for a decent book about rubber mold making techniques, any ideas?

Thanks from Bernice

Moldmaking and Resin Casting

The Video

Release Date: August 30, 1999

Topics covered:

Silicone Block Molds Silicone Mold with two part shell Resin Casting under pressure Cold cast Marble Bronze Patina on a Resin Cast Resin Casting on a rotocasting machine

I've seen quite a few videos available from most of the material suppliers, but not too many books. I know Sculpture House offers one in their catalog, and I have a small one that came from Deep Flex. Mine covers the basics real well, but I'd like to have a good reference source in my library that covers a broader scope.

Anyone know of any??

I would think that there would be a good market for a book like this, but, there must be some out there already.

[Sign me up for a copy! I'd love to have something I could recommend people to buy, that would take them through the process so they could make molds themselves, (the question comes up a lot here) but I've never seen one that covered all the bases. Maybe this will be it.]

[I'd like to find one that's in print, so I could put it in my online bookstore, but again, there doesn't really seem to be much out there.]

Hi again, I received an email from Ed about a great site. Anyway it's got lots of info, a booklet, on-site 'How To', have a look at - smooth-on.com

For any other Aussie Sydeysiders out there we have a company called Barnes , www.barnesproducts.com.au Their site isn't very flash but they do list about 20 books, and tech advice over the phone is unbelievably good, as is their stock range.

The person I spoke to at Barnes suggested that the better books are written for FX people and that sculptors might find them more informative than sculpture books...worth checking out.
