On a related question, has anyone tried acrylic casting to make
mechanical parts? While I have access to a source of various
gears and such I can never find the ones I want to build the
subsystems I want. Having seen some of the cool things that
people have made out of acrylic it seemed a natural for building
custom parts. (Yes, I've read the PlaStock catalog :-))

Anyway, to make a short story long, I'm trying to track down some
useful (ie non-generic, more specific) information on making
molds for acrylic and casting it.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
