Customer Rating: 

Ok in all fairness, I am reviewing this from what I was told by the friend I bought it for who lives in Nepal.

He and his family do metal casting as a business and he said he would like other books on the subject so I bought him this.

He said it helped a lot. I don't know for sure but can only repeat what he said. so - I gave it a middle score.

Customer Rating: 

I felt the information was rather old. I'm still looking for a reference I can actually use.

Customer Rating: 

This is the only source I have ever found for non-commercial molding of rubberlike compounds. While this 1986 edition does not address possible new developments in this area (Loctite now sells material which appears to be the same as the Devcon product highlighted in the book), it is the only information I have ever seen on creating rubber parts for the home hobbyist and restorer. The chapter on weights and volumes is valuable, as these materials are rather expensive. The metal casting section is similar to others on the market, and is primarily focused on sand casting of aluminum. This limited focus, skimming over most other methods and materials, limits it to a four star rating. If you want to mold rubber parts though, this is IT.
