THE MOST VERSATILE RUBBER PRODUCT EVER!!!
VERSIMOLD is a silicone rubber based material that is specially formulated to
allow the user to form into any shape with simple, common every day hand tools
and “cure” it into a high performance, resilient, tough rubber object, part, or
gasket.

GASKETS – The VERSIMOLD product can be rolled or flattened into the desired thickness, then
either cured and cut or punched into a tough gasket – OR – the VERSIMOLD material can
actually be pressed onto the gasket surface, instantly transferring the impression of the surface
into the material, taking the guesswork out of hole location.!
GROMETS – The VERSIMOLD material can easily be formed into just the right size grommet by
simply forming it into the desired shape, then pushing a plastic or metal tube of the desired hole
diameter through the center, then use a coin or flat object to press a slot in the outside, then
cure into an instant grommet.
RUBBER FEET – The VERSIMOLD material can be formed onto any common metal hardware
such as machine screws or bolts, then cured into instant appliance feet, vibration dampeners, or
mounts.!
ELECTRICAL INSULATORS – The VERSIMOLD material has a dielectric strength of over 400 volts /
mil of thickness. The material can be formed into a high voltage insulator, then cured.
BUMPERS AND MOUNTS – The VERSIMOLD material is perfect for fabricating bumpers and
rubber mounts, everything from door stops and hood bumpers to small engine mounts.
REPAIRS – The VERSIMOLD material can be “added” to items to effect a repair such as; rollers,
mounts, covers, bumpers, other rubber items, etc. – so long as the item can be heated to cure
the VERSIMOLD without damaging the original item.
HOBBY – VERSIMOLD can be formed into parts that were originally custom made and are no
longer available with basic model making skills.!
INDUSTRIAL – VERSIMOLD’s virtually unlimited industrial repair uses make it a must for any
maintenance man’s toolbox. !
AUTOMOTIVE AND MARINE – Literally thousands of repairs can be performed using
VERSIMOLD. It is ideal for creating rubber parts for collector cars that have not been remade.
HOMEOWNERS – VERSIMOLD can be used for door stops, tool handles, weather seals, plumbing
repairs, it can even be formed into a bungee cord or battery strap. !

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove the specialized rubber material form the package and remove the needed quantity.
Return the unused quantity to the container. Cut off portions made during the forming of the
gasket or other item can also be returned to the container for later use.!
2. Form the material into the desired thickness by using a rolling pin or similar on a flat surface.
a. TIP: The formed sheet of material can now be used to make an impression on the part
that the gasket is intended for, making it easy to outline bolt holes or cutouts .!!!
b. TIP: Items can be formed onto a “core” such as sheet metal or other items to from the
necessary shape or profile, then “cured” and removed from the core.
3. Make the necessary forms and cuts into the material to make the gasket or item. (remember,
unused material can be returned to the container)
4. Now that the gasket or item is formed, place the material on a metal flat surface for curing
(think cookie sheet !)
5. Using an industrial heat gun set to mid range, an oven set on 250 deg F, or an electric hair dryer,
“cure” the gasket until it is shiny and firm. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME !!!!!
6. Allow the gasket to cool until cool to the touch.
7. Peal the gasket or molded item away from the cookie sheet, and Presto !!! You made a part with
VERSIMOLD. !!!
VERSIMOLD IN USE !
Antique auto parts…
First was an anti-rattle bumper used on the front splash shield of a Willys Aero.
To make the core I bent a piece of sheet metal to shape and molded the compound around it. I used a
heat gun to cure the part with the core in place.
The cured piece easily slid off the core and made a usable part.
The second part is a door check bumper. It has a rectangular hole for the door check link. The original
part has a dished face on one side to create a variable rate bumper. I molded the piece without the dish
since the rubber seemed to be more compressible. Should be functional.
Once again I molded it around a core and added a round washer on each side to mold a flat face and
give me a diameter to work to. I cured it with these three pieces of metal in place. The washers were
aluminum and transferred the heat well.
Should make a very functional door bumper.
