Ok so I have alot of questions at the moment.
I thought I would post it here cause I will be asking questions from different topics.
Here it goes.....
Casting.
1 will cold affect the cast? I live in canada and is starting to get colder. (winter is almost here)
2 If Yes. Can I use space heaters?
3 I will more than likely be casting in my garage, Can I use a fan to blow the fumes outside? I can cast outside but like I said winter is just around the corner.
3a I was thinking of mostly clear casting or should I start with color and mixing?
Molds
4 If I make my own mold following the tutorial found here using silicone. Does the Mdf mold have to be treated?
5 Should I just make my own or suck it up and buy the great Resin Saver molds everyone loves.
Finishing
6 I am getting a lil bit of white build up on my MM pads. Is this normal? (pushing to hard? I dont think I am but sometimes I dont know my own strength) I rinse them before and after and see to keep getting the build up. I have only been turning Acrylic as of late.
7 When people say they sand 400-1000 then wet MM, are they dry sanding the acrylic blank 400-1000?
I think that is about it right now. I lost my list I was adding to to create this post. My dog may have taken it :biggrin:
Thanks for any wisdom you can share with me.
