Larry, what's the mat'l your using there? Is that REN board?

Jarrett  [Look's REALLY good!]

Jarrett,
Not really sure what the plastic is... but it was free, so the price was
right. It is not delrin, but feels more like abs or polypropylene blend.Anyway it's weird stuff with green speckles in it. Seems very tough, so it
should hold up to the casting process well.
Larry

Possibly recycled UHMW? It can come in a dark muddy or yellow color..

So is that the full pattern? Is the interior pocketed out and used as
the mating pattern for the part? [Instead of two patterns?]
