19th May Customer Questions
QUESTION:
.....and I really appreciate the time you put into your customers.....
I have searched the site for help but specifically would like the following information..(no rush as I appreciate you have a business to run as your first priority.)
1. I have been trying to embed a picture in resin (the jewellery resin slow curing one) and I would like the background of the picture to look transparent and the actual picture to look as though it is floating. I did a two step process (two layers allowing the first layer to cure and then attaching the picture - however even using water slide decals - there ends up being a cloudy haze in the background - Has anyone done this before and am I using the right medium?
2. MORE IMPORTANTLY - I have a charm about 2.5 x 2 cm that does not have a base like your toy soldiers or knight - but I would like to cast another one- It is a small toy motorbike with fixed wheels. I am about to order some craft Sil and wonder how to complete the project - again is there any further videos on the subject or help that anyone can forward on please?
My projects are moving forward and I am having a LOT of fun - Lets hope it grows to something bigger and better! :-)
Have a great and prosperous week!

ANSWER:
To have your picture transparent you will need to scan it and then print it on clear film. Enclose your charm with a box or something to prevent the silicone from flowing all over the place, pour the silicone and then cut the silicone mould down one side side to release the charm using a new scalpel blade.Then cut an opening in the base through which to pour the casting resin. All the best with your projects. Stan
Have a great and prosperous week!

Extra income with moulds
For the first time we are placing some small advertisements in Gardening Australia magazine for December, January and February issues for our new stepping stone and other garden moulds.
We have been receiving a lot of enquiries from people across the country wanting to use these moulds to provide some additional income or to save money on a DIY project.
I suppose this is a sign of the times with many finding it difficult to keep up with mortage payments and looking for a low cost way of adding additional income to the family budget.
We are hearing success stories from people making concrete or plaster product to display at markets,fairs and fetes. We will keep you posted on how this is working out.
Another way of saving big time is with our stencils to lay down those simulated brick and stone cement stencilled driveways and paths around the home. The reason the professionals have been able to charge 3 to 4000 dollars a job is because of the supposed necessity for the use of high cost hopper concrete guns but we have worked out a method that makes this unnecessary for the smaller home jobs. One of our customers is currently testing this out and is reporting great success. Stan Alderson

mosaic moulds
We have just added 7 moulds which will be suitable for making concrete mosaic pavers and table tops of various sizes. The mosaics are to be made by the indirect method which enables all pavers etc to be finished with a completely flat and even surface, essential for this type of mosaic.
Shortly we will be offering a range of glass tiles suitable for finishing the mosaic patterns which we also have available. These moulds are an interesting addition to our range in that they can also be used for making plain pavers or tiles by varying the pouring depth and colour oxides used.
To keep the prce down we are making them with 1 mm plastic which provides a sturdy useable mould suitable for hobby or low production home use. All moulds will come with instructions and later this year in kit form.

Who are Aldax?
Very much a family affair. There are 4 of us . Joseph, Adam, Joan and Stan. Joseph is the son of Jackie who as all who know the Alderson group of companies has been company secretary and chief financial officer for over 35 years, so Joseph is one of the family.
When we recently sold the Revesby factory premises where we had operated for over 25 years in the hobby ceramic field we moved to Mortdale to enable us to concentrate on our main interest of mouldmaking.
This has been an exciting venture and the company is growing steadily. We have just taken over the SuperMoulds business and web sites of Reece Williams of Southport Qld who is retiring. This will expand our latex moulds range and provide further interest. Adam will be meeting with Reece shortly to carry on the good work that Reece has been doing over the years.
Joseph has just set up a video section on our web site and this will be expanded continuously as videos are proving invaluable in helping to demonstrate how moulds are made and used. Look under the Tech Tips and Info heading on the front page of the web site for the drop down menu that leads to the videos. 4 up so far.
One section we would like to give attenion to is the customer project section. Many of you are doing work that would be of interest to others and we are keen to feature photos and the story behind your work. We intend to help promote any small businesses that use our products so take advatage of this opportunity.
All the best,
Stan Alderson.
