    Dear All, I need some suggestions. Here is my dilemma. I make small
    CAD created components. These individual components are many times
    secured onto a master model. I glue them on. A silicone mold is then
    poured, wax injected and casting made. I am very happy with the
    detail and results. Not only is it simple but the process costs me
    maybe twenty bucks tops. My CAD parts really do get made. The CAM
    parts is where I spend my time. 

    Here's the question. When gluing the parts together the seams have
    extra epoxy creeping through. I hand fit the parts so there are some
    small gaps. What I have to do is to go in and clean up the areas
    between the CAD components. This is done with gravers, and perhaps
    some small burs. Does anyone know a stop off I could paint the seam
    with? The glue would dry under and in the seam but not above into the
    design. That makes sense doesn't it? I could in essence pull the dry
    epoxy from the design leaving a secured component. 

    Any thoughts? 

Best Regards,
Todd Hawkinson
