2. RTV silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_silicone

   Silicones also exhibit good chemical resistance and high-temperature resistance (205 °C, 400 °F and higher). For this reason, silicone molds are suitable for casting low-melt metals and alloys (e.g. zinc, tin, pewter, and Wood's metal). RTV silicone rubbers are, however, generally expensive – especially platinum-cure.

3. Melt and pour - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melt_and_pour

   The liquified concoction can be poured into individual molds, tray molds, or blocks. Molds are made of metal or, more commonly, from plastic or reinforced silicone rubber, allowing artisans to make their own molds using a two-part mold kit. Upon cooling, the soap can be removed from the molds as individual soaps, or as blocks for slicing into bars.

4. Wax sculpture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_sculpture

   The properties of beeswax make it an excellent medium for preparing figures and models, either by modeling or by casting in molds. It can easily be cut and shaped at room temperature, melts at a low temperature, mixes with any coloring matter, takes surface tints well, and its texture and consistency may be modified by the addition of earthy ...

5. Wax melter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_melter

   Wax melters are devices used in the packaging and candle-making industries to melt wax. The type of tank used to melt candle wax is quite different from adhesives, solder, and tar. For example, tanks used for adhesives may need to be heated up to 260 °C (500 °F) [ 1 ] whilst an organic soy wax will be ruined at over 60 °C (140 °F) and ...

6. Silicone rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

   In its uncured state, silicone rubber is a highly adhesive gel or liquid. To convert it to a solid, it must be cured, vulcanized, or catalyzed.This is normally carried out in a two-stage process at the point of manufacture into the desired shape, and then in a prolonged post-cure process.

7. Molding (process) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molding_(process)

   A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid or pliable material such as plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw material. [2] The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold is a counterpart to a cast. The very common bi-valve molding process uses two molds, one for each half of the object.
