      Tell Me a Substance...

      Tell me a substance that I can melt, pour into a mold, and let cool in room temperature. Once set, it needs to be durable and not edible.

      Plastic, rubber, and if you have time to build a forge, metal

      I'd be careful around some plastics; let off toxic vapours and have you on the floor in seconds.

      Yeah, but if you do it outside, on a windy day... away from a city or crowded place.

      ...using a robot, with 5m arms, wearing a robot gas mask, using a fume cupboard. .

      Some kind of wax sounds like the simplest solution.

      Agreed. Parafin is fairly cheap.

      This newer super epoxy, which may be got on ebay. Drys to resemble plastic. I have used it to repair microscope bases, and other things. It has a holding power of 2,000 to 3,000 lbs per square inch. Epoxy resins are nice for making things. Make your molds out of wax.

      Are they pretty inexpensive, P8569? If so that sounds like the best way.

      Obviously, it would depend on your project. More info please.

      I've found another solution to what I was trying to make.

      If anyone was wondering, I was thinking of molding some juggling balls. I ended up using this as a reference for an alternative, although I'm installing a homemade switch-operated LED circuit in each ball so they glow in the dark! I'll get to posting some pictures of them once I finish making them. I've only made one prototype so far.
