Default Re: SeaCraft Emblem

Thanks for your info.
Research so far:
Silicone mold (unfortunately don't know a dentist, but will check with local friends). I understand that silicone would then be filled with an 'epoxy' resin, and then emblem would be spray painted to desired color. This could be done by a neighbor who's very artistic & into things like that. Advantage, it would probably be the least expensive way for just a few pieces.

Sand Casting, my research so far indicates that would make a textured mold...don't think we want that.

Daytonamold: sent them an email with pictures & dimensions this morning. Waiting to see what they have to say about processing & cost. Daytona is only a couple hours drive away.

Would love to find a 'local' place close to N. Palm Beach, Fla, as I would prefer not to trust the mail delivery system.

If I can find a good process at a reasonable cost, then I'll be glad to share with anyone interested.

Any feedback on the 'epoxy & paint' process or should it definitely be a metal casting?

I definitely need all the help I can get as I would like to do it the 'right' way and have everyone benefit that is interested.
Please keep the info coming!
Thanks, Carla
