[ML-General] ?? casting silicone rubber & vacuum forming ??

[Tyler Crumpton]

I know we've used smoothon to make silicone molds at the shop for one of
Lowell's mold-making classes. I don't remember the formulations we used or
anything, but it seemed that it would be very possible to do the stuff
you're looking at using it for, even at pretty tiny detail/resolution.
