Well I guess I jumped in where the water was a bit over my head, <s>I went in</s> I mean stormed ahead of my ability, and cast my first PR blank, I read about 20 tutorials and thought I had a clue, WRONG, [:I] It set up OK but did have some air pockets, just pin holes which filled with CA.
The worst problem I had was getting the cast blank out of the PVC pipe, I had to cut the pipe on my table saw, I used a silicon spray mold release,that didn't let go, what is the secret to getting the casting out of PVC ? Should I have used Vaseline or something like that, Oh that’s not dust or crud, it's my weak attempt at using powdered mica pearl.
I used powder coating powder for my colorings and I guess I got lucky with the catalyst, it cured in about 18 hours,
