Glenn,
In the past I have done both bulbs and fins. The BIG thing is that the hydraulic pressure at the bottom of a fin mold is UN F.....g Believable!! (Fortunately - No one got hurt the day we learned all about that.) When we built a mold that could take about 15 (11+sf for heat) times the pressure water would exert, the next pour was still nervous but fortunately dull. Cooling takes WAY longer than I expected. Matt Colie Glenn Ashmore wrote: No. I cast the bulb years ago. Everything is ready to cast the fin except my intestinal fortitude. :-) The fin is a lot more complicated and I have this recurring nightmare that I am going to get something slightly out of alignment and then have to sail through life slightly catawampus. But then I have been accused of that by the neighbors already. :-) |
