I dont use a vacuum, but that’s basically the way I do it. I get the 1-1 mix RTV, though, so I don’t have to screw around with a scale. Just two cups with lines on them, and mix into a third cup.
I think somone here at LSC posted several articles on casting…once upon at time…(and they’re still there!)
Bart Salmons said:Yes, he was a quite prolific author back in the day. I wonder what ever happened to him :D

Ray Schoup said:You don't have to beg Ray your more than welcome to run it if it's finished by then. Will be interested to see how the 1:32 Superliners size up to it. Are you part of a club that will allow you to run it there? P.S. I got dubbed Rooster so Dave is confusing too me anymore! Rooster ;)
Hope to finish all 10 by Fall ECLSTS. MAYBE if I beg...David will drag these cars behind his F40 in what-ever-color-RR..?
Rooster: Now I got IT… re: Compare 1:32 vs 1:29 - 1st photo just the two different cars - 2nd photo two cars and LGB Genesis between. re: No Fall Club - Just Spring ECLSTS the_Other_Ray
