    Sculpy for Inserts

    Made some inserts for a relvolver frame for the wrench to remove the barrel and it worked well.
    Sculpy is a modeling clay that hardens when baked available at Hobby Lobby.

    That, Sir, is good information, for which, thank you very much.

    I found this site, http://www.sculpey.com Is that it? Can you be more specific about which particular product you found useful? It sounds like it may also have possibilities as a machinist's fixture material.

    Another interesting material I have been messing with is Shapelock. Twice for inserts to remove barrels. A moldable, machine-able, reusable, thermoplastic. http://shapelock.com/index.html

    Shapelock looks like some pellets I've been messing with called "Friendly Plastic" which seems to do the same thing. Shapelock advertises 500g (about 17.5oz) for $25. Click on the Buy Now link and it's $35 + $10 shipping for a total of $45 minimum. You can get a 28oz can of Friendly Plastic on eBay for $38.
