Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere (I tried searching!) but does anyone have any experience using 3D printed nylon as a mould for an RTV silicone part?
Specifically, my question is - would the nylon act as an inhibitor for addition cure RTV silicone (like
this stuff
)? The specific type of nylon is
PA2200
, which looks like it's basically PA 12.
I can't think of a reason why that nylon would cause problems, since it's not on the list of inhibitors, but I thought I'd check first!
Thanks in advance.
