I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Image Comments bbaumer 07-Apr-08 12:24 just got the 50/50 on, added a nice wrinkle to the leading edge :( John M Oshust 07-Apr-08 14:40 Nifty stuff, what is sculpty???Where do you get it? bbaumer 07-Apr-08 17:45 Sculpy is a synthetic oven baked clay, similar to Fimo. Most any crafty store has it, Hobby Lobby for sure. The best part is is somewhat machinable after you cook it. John M Oshust 07-Apr-08 17:54 Cook it...what do you mean?? bbaumer 07-Apr-08 18:11 you bake it in your oven at 175 degrees for 5 minutes per 1/4" of thickness or so bbaumer 07-Apr-08 18:12 actually, I just re-read, it's 275 for 15 minutes per 1/4" John M Oshust 07-Apr-08 18:16 Push into spinner, remove and bake...is it sandable? bbaumer 07-Apr-08 18:21 yes it is, I had to work the back edge pretty significantly to get it square. It is pretyt hard, but workable. I sprayed the vacuum formed with water as a mold release, it seemed to work really well, some learning curve getting it out without distorting it. You can see how smooth a standard drill bit bored the hole in the scoop. Also, thats a .a25 aluminum tub I inserted from the rear ( drilled after baking ) that also acts as a working shaft on the prop. bbaumer 07-Apr-08 18:21 yes it is, I had to work the back edge pretty significantly to get it square.

I will use this in the future. Seems like an easy way to cast parts from vacuformed plastic! This, me thinks ,is wonderful! Please sign in to comment on this image.
