Dear Stealth,

Then I suggest you do it privately, or -- better still -- post it
where those who are interested may copy/read it at their leisure,
rather than posting it here and possibly interfering with topics which
are more directly related to aviation.

Other reasons for suggesting this is, first off -- my need for
castings has been adequately met in the past using charcoal or
propane, and secondly, I plan to cast only plates, about 4 x 14",
having a suitable draft across the narrow dimension so as to allow
them to be used as fins.

These plates will be machined to match a pair of heads to which they
will then be welded using TIG. I think this method will improve my
odds of success, plus it is a method that matches my present
equipment.
