\nWhat's next? Any recommendations?\n
\n\n* Instead of resin, hard silicone could be used for casting. It will provide a smoother and a better grip.\n* It is possible to make the silicone mold using 3D printing.\n\n=== How to Contribute ===\n\n=== Contact Details ===\n\n* email: azizwadi79@gmail.com\n\n{{Page data\n| keywords = molding, casting, screwdriver\n| authors = User:Aziz wadi\n| location = Jordan\n| description = Make a strong grip for a screwdriver with wax and resin.
