    Hi Steve: I know you use our Akron Silicone RTV--thanks. You can
    accelerate a platinum cure silicone's set time dramatically with the
    application of heat. 

    You will give up a little in shrink, but you can cure a mold in 1/2
    hour or less. 

	24 hour cuRe:    		Room temperature
	60 minute cuRe:    	122F
	30 minute cuRe:    	212F
	20 minute cure    		302F

    With the sixty minute cure, you can copy a wax--note the low temp. 

Cheers!
Bill Mull
