Casting braid

[Dalboy]

For those that enjoy experimenting.

Not sure if it would work but I should imagine that it would have to be done in a chamber.

How about trying THIS

Pretty sure if it's got polyethylene in it it would be a non starter Derek but others may know better

 

[silver]

not sure Derek. Have you tried the stainless steel braiding? That looks good.

Andy, will the polyethylene melt?

I have some moulds made out of polyethylene Mark so can't see it working but I love the colours

Whatever the braid is made from it is most effective as a sleeving under watch parts check out the IAP Library which braid etc.

Problem with this material Peter is that the normal glues we use will not work and it needs to be attached to the tube somehow otherwise everything starts spinning. I've tried shink fit in the past but a heavy cut will twist it off

Appreciate this and kind of you to point it out somehow we over here are in a backwater or at least I am with glue knowledge thanks for the heads up.
