In the latest Woodturning Design there was an interesting casting article about taking stuff like rice, sawdust, spices etc. and making blanks from them with Minwax Wood Hardener.
Two aspects of this were especially interesting, first the use of 2x4s to make the molds, and second, the use of a press to keep the small stuff from floating.
I wonder if the same technique could be used with PR if one adjusted the times that one keeps the blank under pressure in the vise. I doubt there is enough open time for Alumilite.
