Here is a break down for my position. The molds can be made quite cheaply, think Plaster of Paris, and plywood. The rest of the process is the high dollar area. Chemicals some of them are cheap to buy but have a high disposal cost. They all have a short shelf life, you have to use them up quickly. Curing ovens The actual injection gun and it's controls, also the blend changes with the weather. Air density and humidity affect cure and strength. Personnel, during casting you will need about twelve people, to open molds, take out the part, spray the mold with mold release and set it back up for refilling. Ventilating there are toxic fumes. I know how frustrating it is to have a single source supply chain, but unless you are prepared to go into competition with them it will be hard to get your price point down. Now that I have ruined your day, will you please post on your other Geeky Talents? [/QB][/QUOTE]
