My Summer of Vintage Washer Rubber Reproduction

[Unimatic1140]

So I have all the GE Filter-Flo Mounts made that were requested along with the Turquoise scrubbers, now onto the Original Gray and Gold scrubbers for the rest of the week. For anyone who is interested here is the process of making a gray Kenmore Scrubber cap...

Incredible...

Robert-

I always knew you were talented and motivated, but this is something I never expected.

I too will be interested in purchasing many of these parts.

My hat is off to you!

Interesting process

Kind of reminds me of a "mad scientist's" laboratory. I didn't realize there was that much involved.

Amazing work !

Is it possible to make bigger parts such as front loader door seals with this process ?

Yes as long is it fits into the pressure pot. One thing to keep in mind a mold the size of a front loading door boot will probably cost at minimum $700 to make and unfortunately molds fail occasionally and you have to do it all over. I was making the 1961-1962 Frigidaire detergent cap and had a mold failure which means I had to do it all over, thankfully the 2nd attempt worked.

1956-1957 Cap and Rings now finished and look so nice in the 1957 Control Tower...

I admire all of your work. I can’t image having such talents and abilities.
