great post john, always nice to see how things come together. i have to say, wow, those are very very thin.
thanks for showing your mold casting process; wet sanding I have never tried, except on cars, must try that out, what grit paper do you use?
Hi Linda, I use 120 grit paper and the pot is soaking wet. Really gives a great finish.
Jim, I agree they are very thin and am currently working slightly thicker.
Always great to get comments, thank you.
