Don: I don't cast PR and probably never will....already have too many things on my plate to add something else. That being said, I did read through your article just to get an idea of what was involved and how the process works. After reading the article, I feel like I have a much better understanding of how things work.
During the course of reading the article, two questions came to mind. The first and easiest is the dimensions of the little wooden blocks that the tubes are glued to. You did mention that the wooden pieces were about 1/16" thick; but I don't recall that the other dimensions were mentioned. From the picture, they appear to be about 1" square; but pictures can be misleading.
Second question has to do with what appears to be quite a large amount of waste of the PR. I know PR is not exactly cheap and I was wondering if you had experimented with ways to reduce the amount of PR required and still have blanks of the required size? Speaking of which, what size blanks does your method produce? Thanks in advance.
