Vinyl plastisol Mold
Vinyl plastisol Mold
(OP)
I need some help and perhaps some guidance. I need a tube preferably made out of Vinyl Plastisol. The tube needs to be 7" ID x 10' long. I cannot find a manufacturer that makes a tube this big. So, it appears I may need to make a mold to make it myself. Is this possible for a layman to accomplish and if so how what resources can I tap into to learn how to make a mold for a tube of this size?





RE: Vinyl plastisol Mold
You can also make a tube by welding the seems of a flat sheet.

So all you need is a metal round (or closed tube) 7" OD x 10' long, and a really big tub of plastisol.

RE: Vinyl plastisol Mold
could you comeback with the end use of the tube or what you are trying to accomplish with the vinyl coating.
If we knew the end use there are a couple of possible alternatives.

It might be quite expensive to set up a core and tank and oven big enough for your project unless you wish to make quite a few parts.
Like unclesyd says, there may be alternatives if we knew the end use details.
