Then to tidy</div><div>it up & add a bit more support I will cover it with the "castable rubber". The</div><div>intention is to make a 2 part mold to form the castable rubber around the cable</div><div>& threaded adapter ( as per previous dwg ). I need 16 of these for my light fittings</div><div>& light through hulls & 5 for motors alone. So it will be worth getting it right.</div><div>The castable rubber can be either sticky or not sticky depending on how much</div><div>talcum powder you mix. It may be that I cast a semi sticky castable rubber or</div><div>put a thin layer of silicon over the initial layer, then cast the non sticky castable</div><div>rubber over that to give some adhesion.</div><div>Was an artist in a past life, & made moulds & cast resins.

I always use a threaded rod of some sort. If you use smooth wire, then consider epoxy because casting resin has no adhesive qualities. As a matter of fact, you could pull the wire out with a pair of pliers. Epoxy is fine to use if the cavity is larger. I always try to keep the cavity small and the viscosity of epoxy is to thick. Casting resin is better for this and I use a syringe. I have had success with epoxy and a tight cavity when I heat the epoxy in the microwave when my wife is not looking. The warm epoxy will flow when heated. The trick is to have a large enough cavity for epoxy to flow in without trapping an air bubble. Now that is just my two cents on the matter.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447522944139_2922" dir="ltr"><span>Hank</span></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> On Saturday, November 14, 2015 6:44 AM, hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv3751581889"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><div id="yiv3751581889yui_3_16_0_1_1447508054764_3242"><span>Alan,</span></div><div id="yiv3751581889yui_3_16_0_1_1447508054764_3242"><span>Are you talking about making a mould with casting rubber that fits over the cable with a void that you will fill with silicone.
