    Hmmm, looks something like Marc Robinson's hot water recipe... I've
    never had to use any special formula for casting highly detailed
    work, which is 90% of what I do. Because all of my work is in 18k or
    22k, I tend to use thick investment for strength, it vacuums just
    fine. I suppose if you are casting in large flasks, it could make a
    difference, or if you're at a higher altitude (which is why Marc
    thought up using hot water for investing).
