Hi All
This ones for the casting gurus out there .
How does adding pigment effect threading of PR .
I have found that the amount of dry pigment seems to make a difference in tne quality of the threads I have been cutting in PR and am wondering if anyone is having similar results out there .
Do you think that tinting with liquid coloring and less mica powder makes a difference .
Also how does the amount of hardner effect the PR as far as threading is concerned , I like a very hard almost brittle acrylic as far as turning is concerned but am wondering if this is also effecting the quality of the threads as well .
As an experiment I'm going to cast a Clear blank with the normal amount of hardner I use and a blank with a much lower amount of hardner then see if they thread any differently , being theres no pigment involved this should answer the first question too .
Time to chime in with some ideas and answers and even some questions , let's go everyone !
