Metrology Putty

Not necessarily a CMM problem or question but does anyone here use metrology putty? If so, what do you prefer. The stuff i looked at is rather expensive so basically fishing for alternatives. Looking for something to make measuring "Hard to Measure" ID features easier to measure. For example...small radii...Thx

Thx guys...reprorubber is what i saw online but yes, it is expensive. I was wondering if there was a comparable alternative

You get what you pay for.

Get the sample kit of the putty. It's about $80 and will make quite a few castings if you don't use more than you need.

Long castings will benefit from an artificial spine - I used dead drills and wooden q-tip sticks quite often.

Be careful to not cross contaminate the containers and it will last for several years on the shelf.
