Just exploring my options. Could sell 2 could sell 100, the cheaper I can make them the more I can sell. If it were a solid piece I would have ordered the stuff and just done it but with it being hollow I could not figure out how to accomplish that. If nothing else I might learn a new craft...

I ordered some urethane resin to try while making these the way I have been. I need to research how to make a mold for these first and if I accomplish that I will try pouring one. I will look into the smoothon stuff too Thanks, Jay

Here is what I am making

Here is a picture of it installed but it does not show the whole part.

They are made of PVC and ABS and using hot glue to hold them together, at first I was wondering what I could use in place of the hot glue that will not be more expensive, then I thought of the mold making I have seen on Mythbusters. It is pretty complicated in my opinion for a mold but they can...

I am researching if I can make a mold to be able to produce a product faster in order to keep the cost down. I am making custom gauge pods and have to make each one by hand and thought if there was a way to mold them I could cut the build time down and cost. So I am looking for info or...

Ok, I ordered those parts, so we will see how well they work when I get them within the week or so. Thanks for the quick reply.

What was the cost of that beautiful garage? Just trying to get an idea for the one I want to build in the next year. Foundation, concrete and building and electrical. I don't plan on epoxy on the floor, at least not right away.

I will be building a garage this summer, what are the dimensions and price of that beauty you built? I don't have time to read through it all if it has been posted. I want to get an idea of what I can afford.

Get a harbor freight press or make one.

Resistance spot welders? We had that capability at my old shop, glue and weld. It is used a decent amount today.

I do collision work and the best I have come across is urethane sealer, it stays flexible and is strong, so strong you could put the patch panels in with it but I am not recommending that. 3M makes some as do many other companies. But do not use fast and firm from 3M, that stuff is junk.
