I have been trying to cast some braided stainless steel blanks using Alumilite and have been having some issues. I have been painting the tubes, allowing them to dry, attaching the braided stainless steel to the tube using CA, and after a few days I have been casting them in clear Alumilite. It appears that either the Alumilite is not adhering well to the stainless steel initially or the bond is being broken during the trimming ( sanding ) or turning process.
Does anyone have suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
