Ultra Fine Jflex Sharpening Belt 1500-7000 Grit - 2x48" (50x1220mm) Made in Germany by Starcke these belts leave a clean, smooth and consistent belt finish on your steel.
It works well and cures in about 8 hours. Only thing to be careful of is to make sure the item you're trying to cast isn't an inhibitor of platinum based silicone.
I wasn't able to cast my resin 3d prints because they inhibit the curing process. Likewise I tried using bluetac to hold down some parts in the container but the bluetac inhibited the curing in those spots.
TLDR This is a good kit but do your research about what you want to cast first to make sure it will work with platinum silicone. Otherwise try using tin base silicone to make a mold first as it's less reactive.
If you still need the final mold to be food safe do:
make original mould in tin silicon -> cast an object from it using a material you know is safe with platinum silicone -> make a platinum silicone mould with this kit using the new object you cast from the tin mould.
Anyway this is a good kit.
I'd been shopping for a while between my main two suppliers, but when necessary materials were out of stock there I had to shop around. Aus Maker Supplies popped up and had just what I needed. My steel was packed well and sent quickly, exactly as described, and a great price too! I received a nice little handwritten note from Tim and a few lollies as a bonus too. One order in and he's earnt a spot in my main supplier list, I'll definitely be back for more materials soon!
Cheers
Easy to work and machine even after sending it off to Timmy for professional heat treatment.
