It is much thinner and more fragile that what it looks like Gizzmo is using. That stuff looks very solid.Vulcanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100189477304970157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529210993488884035.post-26342258011690757692008-01-23T10:45:00.000-06:002008-01-23T10:45:00.000-06:00Well Dave this isn't the first time the gause suge...Well Dave this isn't the first time the gause sugestion has come up.I think the use of the gause started with making molds from latex. Its used in the building of layers because the latex is rather fraile.This "OOMO 25" I used seems to be tuff stuff. All I can add is that I've now cast 25 or more wall sections using this mold and its showing no sign of damage or loss of detail.As for the srinking,I haven't noticed any. the wall sections still mesh rather well. On a larger casting shrinkage may have an impact but theres no sign of any on these small ones.Gizzmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536588882007684815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529210993488884035.post-15552852728783505792008-01-23T08:27:00.000-06:002008-01-23T08:27:00.000-06:00Well written and good post.

Any thoughts since you will be making several? Also as you pour more "duplicates", I heard they tend to shrink slightly?dgausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01876035231981915918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529210993488884035.post-60863285393063729772008-01-22T21:53:00.000-06:002008-01-22T21:53:00.000-06:00Great Job, Gizzmo!Great Job, Gizzmo!Vulcanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100189477304970157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529210993488884035.post-72898494302725079642008-01-22T21:12:00.000-06:002008-01-22T21:12:00.000-06:00wonderful work, and like vulcan's previous post so...wonderful work, and like vulcan's previous post something everyone can use, yet never is clever enough to think of. keep 'em coming ... its stuff like this that goes a long way on a layout!bfishmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520871348768110255noreply@blogger.com
