Josef Mai -- Prepwork: Phase (1) -- FOLLOW-UP

Just a quick note by way of follow-up to my last posting. . .

I have just finished pouring the mold for the button. So far so good. . .

As I discussed briefly with Kreston, I am considering introducing atomized bronze or aluminum as a filler to the PUR. Unfortunately, I am completely out of polyester resin (first time in over 20 years!), so the buttons will not be pure bonded metal; but the compound might yield interesting results--and it should stabilize the PUR given the size of the item.

I will try my first test pours over the weekend. . .
