Scale:  HO, O Last presented:  Potomac Division Minicon 2011
Description:   A hands-on, take-away resin casting clinic.  Okay,  you wanted to try resin casting, but haven't gotten around to it, or maybe have been put off by the initial cost to just get started.  Here's your chance to test this all out to see if it's something that you want to learn and try to do, and get started buying everything needed to routinely do resin casting.
     After the Powerpoint overview presentation for all attendees, we will proceed through to the first part of this clinic with the registered attendees by preparing a mold of a master. I will provide masters of some suitable object in HO scale -participants may use their own master providing ithat it will fit in the bottom of a 12 oz. paper cup with at least 1/4" clearance around it, not taller than 1/2", and have a totally flat back surface, and is their own work.  The mold needs 24 hours to set up, so we will go through all of the steps to set up a mold for pouring RTV, pour the RTV, and then by the end of the day, you will be able to take your mold home with you.  Part 2 of this clinic will be held at a date and location to be announced.
    Extra fare. Hands On.
