Liquid Silicone Injection Molding vs. Gum Silicone Transfer Molding

[badger2011]

My company currently uses Wabash transfer presses to create silicone over-molded hand-tools (gum stock w/ Pl catalyst). In my research, I have found that liquid silicone injection is both faster and cleaner (smaller cycle time and less debris).

Has anyone used liquid silicone before?

What would be a good place for me to start looking for the machinery? Resources?

Any other thoughts?

I may be using 2 shot molds, is this going to be a problem?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can offer!

Let me know if you'd like more clarification too.
