To attempt to create this seal I used a router to cut a small indent 5mm deep into a piece of MDF, this being the mould for the Silicone. I then took a scrap piece of plastic and heated it under the strip heater. I created a wave within the end of the plastic which I will then cover in silicone. The reason for creating the wave is to join the silicone to the plastic, as the silicone alone does not stick.
The result of this experiment worked very well, however i still need to find some kind of adhesive that will join the plastic to the silicone.
