    Dear Orchidians, I have searched the Orchid site but couldn't find
    the following info so i thought I'd ask and see if anyone can answer
    my question. I have some small flasks and i do not know the
    investment to water ratio for them. I am using Westcast investment
    and they have a chart listed in the rio grande catalog but I am not
    sure how to determine the flask sizes for the ratios. I have 4 sizes
    i need to know about.  The Flask sizes are 2" X 2 1/2",  2 1/2" X 2
    1/2",  2 1/2" X 3" and  2 1/2" x 4" And lastly, how long do you have
    to wait for investment to dry before you dewax with a steam dewaxer?
    If anyone has this info I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks so much!
    Tai
