So what kind of chemicals are involved? Basically from what I've gathered you kind of have a metal finish by having a powder coat of metal on your plastic to electroplate.... I think you just put it in your chemicals and fry away???? Would the materials be costly?

as far as the milky buttons not yet.... I'm still trying to get perfectly clear buttons.... I'm getting agitated about that too . Every set I cast has tiny bubbles, not due to air in the mold but due to a chemical reaction that occurs due to moisture in the silicone (or so the guy at smoothon tells me), it's not really that noticable until you look closely but it's annoying the crap outta me. I've tried baking the molds... storing them with silica gel... everything I can think of to reduce moisture to no avail, does anyone know what Brian is using to cast his buttons?
