It did require significant shaping - a mixture of vixen file and also general purpose wood saw. |
|
Then it was the potery clay to finish the profile and fill-in the gaps. The forward ring has a strip of AL which will hopefully result in a better circular ring than the LHS. The various bits of AL were covered with electrical tape. |
|
The release wax was put on fairly thick and left to cure, hopefully the negative mould should release with greater ease. |
|
The actual PoP negative was easy to layup, a couple of dividers to enable the extraction of the halves. |
|
Much easier this time to split, I left the it all to dry of over night. |
|
To finish the day a couple of hours on sanding and shaping the LHS inlet and the getting it all to fit again. Nearly there, even the experience on the LHS has meant the RHS will be better - again the 'second one' as is normally the case. |
