Hi, I'm turning up a pattern from jelutong. The pattern will be used to cast a
part in polyurethane. The pattern is a bit bigger than a coffee mug.
I want a very smooth wax like finish. The finish will of course be duplicated in the cast items.
I'm equipping the lathe with a reversing switch especially for finishing.
My original idea was to coat the item with a thinned out epoxy resin,
sand to the finest finish and then coat with shellac and finish with steel wool.
But after scanning through these pages, there're probably better ways of doing it.
It seems Micro Mesh is better then sandpaper and EEE might be the product of choice to conclude with.
I would be happy to hear how you would go about finishing it.
