    Hi Silverfoot, Sorry I missed you at the show. I did some fun molds
    and talked to some great folks. We always enjoy meeting all the
    Orchid people. Kate wolf was answering someone's post earlier about
    clear mold compound. I've used different types in the past. Castaldo
    has a new one out that will hit the shelves soon. You should try this
    one Kate. It is water clear. It mixes on a one to one ratio by
    WEIGHT. Be sure to vacuum a good long time and you will have good
    results. Although it says it cures in 18 to 24 hours, I find that you
    should let it cure a couple of days for the best results. True, it is
    a good confidence builder for new mold slicers. If you need help with
    molds or just have a real tough one that you want me to cut, I'd be
    happy to help. I can only do free molds at the show. Most of the
    molds I cut are put in production here at my shop so I see the
    results and I'm constantly pushing for a better cut. The goal is to
    inject a wax that pulls easily without distortion while keeping
    parting and vent line impact to a minimum. You can contact me at
