How do you make your own 1911 grips from hard polymer plastic? |
[Edit] |
I have a site that has a liquid casting plastic called, Alumilite super liquid casting plastic, they say its easy to use, virtually odorless and will duplicate any part down to the most minute detail. They also have molding clay, release creams, etc., www.miniaturemolds.com or webmolds.com. First take molding clay and make an impression of the original grips, apply releasing cream and pour in casting plastic, wait for the instructed time and then remove your new grips, when the grips have cured you sand the back flat to proper thickness, locate and transfer holes, drill, countersink for screws, mount and enjoy. NOTE: There are many types of polymer plastics on the market, as for this one, you can add filler, it can also be dyed, sanded, drilled, machined or painted.
