How do I get a custom silicon or rubber mold made?
I make a lot of rtv molds for my jewelry and soaps…I use one mold in particular a lot…. but it shrink and tears up after awhile and I have to remake them….. Is there a way I can get a more durable mold to be made for me? Something more industrial and permanent? I’m looking for industrial strength rubber, plastic or silicone type molds….the kind you find in stores like cooking pans or crafting supplies?
thank you in advance.

You may need to get a heavier duty RTV than you are using now. Do a web search on GE RTV and find a local contact who can discuss choices of products. Even if you are not using gallons, most company reps will talk about their products and be more helpful than you expect – if you hit one that is not, switch companies or people (call back and ask for manager and explain what you need and why you didn’t get help)
