thanks Amy
This week end I'm looking forward to doing some hi heat

I don't have the name with me now I'm at work. I work at Swest we
are a supply for jewelrs but not glass stuff. I just paint the hardner on
two or three coats. I let them dry between coats. After a day er two they
are bone dry. then you can sand to smooth.

What I'm wanting to do is make simple cut out type moulds of fiber bd thats been preped so I can melt together scraps in to shapes. Should I
drill little vent holes in the bottoms of my excavated fiber board shapes
or is that needless because these are small jewel size shapes.
