Hello again Sorry for taking so long to reply back on what I am looking to do for this coal car project. Just been very busy with work. Here are a few answers:...

I am building a model train chassis, from white metal, and want to hold the two halves together. Would it be feasible to make a clip, from cast resin, which...

You could do that, but it would be a lot simpler to use a good superglue if you don't need to take them apart. If there's very little gluing surface, you can...
If this split frame chassis is for a loco then the pins will short the track and power supply. If there is sufficient surface super glue or contact sheet ...
No the concept is for a plstic or resin spacer, to give a small gap (electrically sound), and use a clip which allows the halves to be held together, but also...

Over on the Electroncs_101 list we're trying to figure out if we can make our own shielding paint and shielded cast cases. I know bronze, copper, nickel-silver...

Is this a building fixture, or a part of the finished train chassis? I know this is a casting group, but what characteristic of casting resin do you see works...
Mineral sprits is not a good choice. It will cause your silicone to shrink significantly. The oomoo is pretty low in viscosity already but if you must lower...
Hi Peter, What is diluent fluid? My problem here is that the A side of the silicone is very stiff for some reason, I don't know if this last summer had...
Gary, I suspect that the heat caused some small percentage of the RTV to cure so that it thickened. At least that can happen with other kinds of casting...
If your silicone is that stiff chances are that it is due to the age of the kit you have. Although the power outages from our hurricanes was an inconvenience...
Gary, Silicone is best thinned with a silicone fluid. Almost all silicone manufacturers have a thinning fluid either 100 cps or 10 cps. Mixed in different...

Would it not be easier to bend (and cut) a paperclip into an appropriate shape?

Bob, what are your axles going to be made of? I assume they will be a conductive material and not split, and that you are not creating insulated bearings for...

Keep in mind the bit about the axles from my response, as you are going to short your frame anyway. IMHO, casting a clip from resin isn't the way to go about...
