heat staking a urethane casting
heat staking a urethane casting
(OP)
I'm getting conflicting information on the feasibility of heat staking a urethane casting.
One guy says he's done it.
Another guy says because is it's a urethane (made by blending isocyanate and polyol), it won't melt the way thermoplastics do, thus heat staking won't work.
So I'm tossing it up to the eng-tips braintrust... any thoughts?

I'll ask around to a few RP houses to see if that can RTV mold a thermoplastic urethane.
