Gutta percha objects were created from raw, untreated latex that was melted and molded, or from vulcanized gutta percha, which has most of the same properties as hard rubber. Molded gutta-percha was made into a staggering diversity of objects, including golf balls, jewelry, thread, tool and weapon handles, condoms, water pipes, buttons, and in dentistry as a base for dentures, as fillings, and as artificial teeth. The thread was woven into waterproof blankets, tents, and other fabrics, mosdy for use by the military. 

The neat epoxy resin was prepared by casting. The as-received B-stage material was subjected to degasification at 85 °C inside a vacuum oven. The softened resin was then transferred into a preheated silicon-rubber mold. The curing schedule was 121 °C for 2.0 hours, 177 °C for 2.5 hours, followed by a slow cooling at 0.5 °C per minute to room temperature (23.0 °C).

More complex shapes can be made by cold isostatic pressing (CIP). CIP uses deformable rubber molds of the required shape to contain the powder. The application of isostatic pressure to the mold suspended in a pressure transfer media, such as oil, compacts the powder. CIP is not as easily automated as uniaxial pressing, but has found wide application in the preparation of more complex shapes such as spark plug insulators (26). 

In all these isostatic pressing methods, the pressure is applied uniformly to the surface of the green body because the rubber mold deforms to follow the compaction of the powder. In addition there is little or no wall friction between the powder and the rubber mold. As a result, the force balance given by A t = 0 for (ylindrical coordinates gives, for the radial component. 

Mold Fabrication Fifteen silicone rubber molds were cast from a master stainless steel template machined in the shape of a dogbone with gauge dimensions of 4 X 12 X 25 mm. The grip portion of the sample was terminated in a... 

Casting The silicone-rubber molds and premixed resin were heated to 150°C prior to casting. After the Eporal was totally dissolved, the resin was deaerated in a vacuum bell jar, reheated to 150 C, and poured into the preheated molds. The samples were cured for 1 h at 150 C, followed by 5 h at 177°C then the oven was turned off and the samples were allowed to cool slowly to room temperature. 

To avoid the medicine dropper entirely, you can make up some pre-primed plastic straws. For these, you will need some rubber mold compound. Suck up a half inch of the compound into a 4Vi inch plastic straw. Then let it dry for a couple of days. 

A more sophisticated safety fuse is made by coating the fuse with spray-on plastic from an aerosol can. When this dries the fuse is coated with rubber mold compound, bought at any hobby store. The plastic is used first because the mold compound has a water base and would wet the fuse. The rubber would dry but the fuse would stay damp indefinitely. 

Use Electrical equipment, vacuum tubes, incandescent lamps, dusting agent, lubricant, windows in high-temperature equipment, filler in exterior paints, cosmetics, glass and ceramic flux, roofing, rubber, mold-release agent, specialty paper for insulation and filtration, wallpaper and wallboard joint cement, oil-well drilling muds.
