Red4 has covered this in threads before and he wrote up the feature and took the pictures. So we now have a permanent record of his method off ensuring a good solid casting after adding a bit of pressure.

Great work Here!! Thanks for taking the time to show us your techniques. I have one question though..where the heck do you get a paint pot?
Cheers,

You can pick up a pretty decent one for $80.00 through HArbor Freight tools. Here is the link.

Every once in awhile, you can find them on Ebay, but remember, you need one large enough (2 1/2 gal is great) to hold your molds.

:-) :-) :-) you find an old "deck-ape" and have him comsha' one from the paint locker....... :-) :-) :-) :-)
I'm sure the Candian Forces had something simular :-) :-) :-)

New The Paint pot's Run about 100 bucks... I got mine off of Ebay for about 35 used.........

If you are lucky enough to have a Sears close by, you can score a new 2 Gallon pot for about 100$. I grabbed mine at a flea market for a cool $40 and it even came with the spray gun. The guy about cried when I told him what I was going to do with it.. lol. Glad you guys find this useful. Model on! "Q"
