Clear rubber question?
For a newbie to rubber product making, I'm looking for advice - please.
I'm looking for a clear-rubber substance; that I can pour into my cast - and will transfer red light from an embedded LED.
I will make a cast using plastic or aluminum - on my cnc-machine, POUR the rubber fluid into the cast (or mold), and put the LED at the top; set to dry (or cool).
Either by way of heating rubber in a vat, and pouring in my cast w/ a latel, or mixing a/b solution, or squirting through a tube - I dont know what process would be the best for my application, I could use some newbie advice. I can not have any bubbles in the end-product.
The consistancy would be something like soft rubber on remote-control keypads, sturdy, and as close to transpararent as possible - I want it to light up when the LED is activated (in the final product).
Please help!
