    I read this thread and it covered almost everything I could think of
    and add some. I never would have thought of lowering the temp of the
    wax. I have lowered pressure and that has worked. Thanks Orchid for
    new insights. Here are a couple of things that no one else mentioned
    that I thought I might add to this very productive thread. 1. Use
    corn starch instead of talc. Talcum powder is a mineral and cannot
    be absorbed by the body. It builds up in the lungs just like coal
    dust. Not good. Corn starch can be absorbed as it is organic. It
    works just as well as talc. 2. I sometimes use a #62 drill bit to
    vent a specific area that is giving real trouble. It leaves a little
    nipple that is very easy to clean off . I find that knife vents can
    sometimes lead to mold distortion if cut too deep. The drill vents
    are less intrusive to the rest of the pattern and much more spot
    specific, although they do need occasional cleaning.
