Volpin Props Movie Props, Costumes and Scale Models | the RPF Oh, the things you can build with Pink Foam! OK, this is just a silly little show off thread, but a comment Laffo made in that older "Question for those who have tackled Star Wars costumes" thread:Duck, The pink foam rules. Don't let any of these bastards tell you different. Laffo.got me to thinking about all the strange things I have built either partially or almost 100% out of pink (or blue) insulation foam over the years as an amateur prop monkey (or in some cases, when I headed up the build team). I mean, basically, the stuff rules, like Laffo said! Workshop Publishing - Plans, Books, Videos - Home Fevereon Props Recycling Codes For Plastic Why bother about recycling codes for plastic? Here’s why. While plastic is a useful material found in many day-to-day products, it is non-biodegradable and it takes thousands for years for plastic to disintegrate and decompose. Yet plastic products are produced and disposed of at an extremely rapid rate every second, especially now that many disposables like bottles, plates and bags are plastic in nature. Fortunately, some types of plastic can be recycled and used to make new plastic. Type 1 Plastic – Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE) The acronym PETE (polyethylene terephthlate) or PET (poly ethylene terephthalate) are often used interchangeably, to refer to type 1 plastic. Examples of the recycling codes for PET and PETE plastic are seen below. PET and PETE plastic can be recycled into carpet yarns, fiberfill, tote bags, food and drink containers, luggage and clothing. Type 2 Plastic – High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Examples of recycling codes for HDPE plastic are seen below.

Tom Banwell—Leather and Resin Projects Borosilicate glass Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with the main glass-forming constituents silica and boron trioxide. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (~3 × 10−6 /°C at 20°C), making them resistant to thermal shock, more so than any other common glass. Such glass is less subject to thermal stress and is commonly used for the construction of reagent bottles. Borosilicate glass is sold under such trade names as Borcam, Suprax, Kimax, Pyrex, Endural, Schott, or Refmex. History[edit] Borosilicate glass was first developed by German glassmaker Otto Schott in the late 19th century[1] and sold under the brand name "Duran" in 1893. In addition to the quartz, sodium carbonate, and aluminum oxide traditionally used in glassmaking, boron is used in the manufacture of borosilicate glass. Manufacturing process[edit] Borosilicate glass is created by adding boric oxide[4] to the traditional glassmaker's frit of silica sand, soda, and ground lime. Usage[edit]
