You may never have heard of us, but you've seen our products at work. If you've ever been to the movies, admired a piece of sculpture, marveled at detailed architectural ornamentation or used a telephone; then you've encountered the handiwork of people who use Smooth-On rubbers, plastics, foams and other products to turn their ideas into 3-dimensional reality.
Special Effects You've seen our Liquid Rubbers and Liquid Plastics used to create Special Effects in such blockbuster movies as the original Jurassic Park, Anaconda, Free Willy, Star Wars, Star Trek (TV Series and Movies), Die Hard, all Harry Potter Movies, James Bond films, Matrix Series, King Kong and many others too numerous to mention
Sculpture Chances are that any major piece of Sculpture produced in the United States in the last 40 years used Smooth-On rubber to assist the artist in transforming the original sculpture from clay or wax to bronze (lost wax process).
Restoration Architectural Restoration professionals use our rubber to make molds as part of a process to create or restore elaborate pieces of architectural ornamentation.
Prototypes Prototype professionals from such companies as AT&T, Lucent Technologies, Hasbro, Gillette Razor, Ford Motor Co., and many others use our rubber and plastic products to create models and prototypes of everything from telephones to toys to computers to hand tools.

They offer such a large selection of products that even though I've used several of them, it is a small percentage of their offerings.
OOMOO Silicon Rubber - This product is great for making molds. Simple, easy to use. Two part solution, mix equal ratios together, pour into your mold form and wait for it to cure. We didn't use a vacuum even though it is recommended for minimizing bubbles. We found that if you are careful with the mixing and pouring not to introduce too much air, the bubbles will rise to the surface and away from the critical areas. (think about this when designing your form as it may save you headaches later). This makes a great flexible mold so you can push out your parts without damage to either the parts or mold. If looking for a rigid mold, then this isn't the product for you.
We had a container for year and went to use it and it was already cured. We might have contaminated the containers or was opened which caused it to cure, so just a heads up that it can happen.
Mold Max STROKE - We used this for looking at some failed products. It was great to be able to brush this onto the part and remove easily once cured. It allowed us to see details of the failure that we were not able to without making an impression of the part.
Strengths: Large selection of molding materials
Quick delivery
Consistant product
Needs to improve: Products do expire. So make sure you don't over order
