Spent the weekend in the middle of a field at a steam rally which myself and the wife attend. I took all of my woodturning and set it out. I also acquired some bits and pieces, a second hand compressor which broke the bank and some measuring tools. The compressor only cost me £16 but could do...

Hi all, Well, I have my pressure pot and a compressor (which is on its last legs though) and excited about starting to cast acrylics. I must have watched every youtube video on the subject of plastics but I am still not sure upon what brand to buy. I know the USA use Aluminite a lot but would...
