if your annealing temp is 910 why the 4 hour saok at 1000? Am I missing something? Would not your 4 hour soak be at the annealing temp?

Re: wax paper and Christmas ornaments

I saw, I think in GPQ, where wax paper is used as a base for constructing snowflakes and glueing them together. The snowflake doesn't stick to the wax paper once the glue has dried.

My question is once you have the bubble (and you have the cure)can you save a piece with a nickle size bubble by drilling a hole in it?.If so do you drill through both layers or just the top layer? Which will leave you with less scarring? :?:
