Joe, This is one of the best uses of this forum that I have seen so far! It is inter-active and your methods appear sound. I say "appear", as I haven't used the tape, plaster, portland cement and vermiculite ideas but they sound interesting. I have a smaller layout and used both paper towels dipped in soupy hydrocal and Woodland Scenics' plaster cloth. I am hooked on Woodland Scenic's plaster cloth, now. It is fast, clean and instantainously stopable at any point. It might be too costly for a real large layout, however! Your adding vermiculite to the mix reminds me of Eric Brooman's system where he adds clay to his plaster mix. It slows the cure and allows easier carving of rock work! <br /> <br />I missed the operation thread you had going. Is one of your DVDs going to be on operation? This is my week point! <br /> <br />Thanks for the good work! It beats the loco polls hands down!
