Will there be 4 casts taken in total? I feel like I'm missing the obvious but I can't quite envision how it'll work out. --- End quote --- Yes Brad.... Exactly that... We'll be making the inner half of this side when we turn it over. That's why we embedded the glass beads. So that we end up with a depression in this half of the mold. When we turn it over and pour the second half of this mold, those depresions will fill with rubber and ensure that we can accurately align the two parts of the mold when we come to pour the resin. I'll be posting the pictures of that in the next couple of weeks. The complete mold set for the two sides of the stick is in four pieces. Plus of course another two piece mold for the trigger.

Fantastic work Fozzy, Its bringing a tear to my eye to see such work and the resurrection of such a great stick. I imagine you have more orders than you can shake a stick at already :D Can't wait for them to be finished and I myself would love to have at least one. one final note :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: |

I didn't see it mentioned... will the handles be translucent blue like the originals? |
| Brax:
One more general casting question. Is there a theshold for how much Thixotropic Agent you can use depending on the complexity of the part? Could it ever impede it from running into all the fine detailed bits or is this unlikely? |
