5/6/2017 Making Climbing Holds With Trevor and Charles

Trevor and I have been covering holds in silicone recently. Our original plan to pour silicone into a box was changed because we realized that putting small amounts of silicone into soap and water would be much more efficient and would dry much faster. Because a whole box was not filled, we could use small globs to save large amounts silicone. 






Once we were confident with our new mold making process, Trevor and I moved onto making and testing holds. We recently received our poly urethane composites in the mail, so we were ready to see how well our materials would work. 











We were very excited to see that it worked out.






Then we tested the strength of each test hold by dropping it from tall heights and hanging from it like a climbing hold should be used. As you can see, it worked out quite well.




Finally, after a long day of work..... I made Trevor clean up the workshop.
