dont have those stuff at the reach of my hand also they are expensive as fuck in here. i use construction transparent silicone and cold water with dishwasher to mold the silicone but ty for the advice
I understand that. I've seen the get started molding set at Hobby Lobby for like $25 But I Agree with the use what ya got. Heck I even used plumbing parts left over from a job to build models with.

so the molds tale is like this:
the 1st try (the one i post below) give me 5 molds instead of 8 to use and the 2nd try was unable to be used. so ill stay to the first cast i made ill work slow but i dont want to waste more materials anymore. now i been trying to make some casting and i had to learn in the hard way (by wasting money and materials). i used Paste Wall and didnt work, then i use cast sadly was in powder form not paste so i pass 2 days trying to do Water/Powder proportions whichi ended in disaster. in the end i was able to buy and use this called modeling paste. and now i can make casting properly i left the few photos i been taking. sorry for taking so long ill do better next time

I've tried casting before, and I didn't do well. Keep on trying, you'll find what works for you.

I am sorry to hear that you were having so many problems with this project. I do understand your frustration. I too have had issues with templates that have problems that were never addressed.
I hope that you have better success with your next project!

Well, it was still a worth while venture, you showed us an interesting way to produce more tracks!

Deal! Once I build something big enough to need those again... I'm pretty sure I won't wait long to find something...
