Polyurethane rubber casting.

Mimas' wheels are made out of PX60 Polyurethane rubber. The pouring and moulding procedure involved mixing in a 1:1 ratio the two components of PX60, pouring the mixture between the metal structure of the wheel and the silicon mould, and waiting for 24 hours. The curing phase has been a major point of concern throughout the whole process of making the six wheels: the silicon mould and relative support structure were not made following standard and previously tested methods. This led to several errors (such as leaking and excessive material being used), which fortunately never caused unsolvable damages to the final results. In the statistics below, the "Hours of work" are considered in total, counting the wheel preparation process for six wheels.
