Need to put some threaded inserts into a project I am doing. In the past, I have drilled a hole for the insert, applied a little glue and drove it in with the manufacturers tool. I was wondering if a heat driver could work with Alumilite clear slow. It's commonly used in 3-d printing and with other plastics. I just don't know the temperature it would take to soften the clear slow to allow the driver to heat and insert the the threaded insert. Curious if anyone has had experience with this. Thank you again. Just joined the forum and this is my second post. I got some good information on my previous post, so I thought I would try again.

RC-3 Urethane is not thermoplastic, and I imagine clear slow is in the same category. I have sold resin products with threaded inserts MOLDED IN. It's about tricking the silicone mold to allow for the insert and a threaded mating part to be present during resin casting, and then removing the mating part. Let's see your application. |
