Thanks Crashmaster.

Charlie, glad to hear you're going to give it a go. I'm sure Lanier's equipment is like the Space Shuttle when compared to my clunker. I suppose that is the point though, for most of what we do a Shuttle is not necessary. This is especially true when you're not interested in producing parts for anybody other than yourself. I admit, I spend alot less time on some plugs simply because I know I can fix a few minor defects in the molded part in less time than it would take to make a stellar plug. Having said that, you are correct that the plug is key to making a quality part. Kind of like the quality of a paint job is directly related to the time spent on surface preparation. I am working on a part two that will cover what I have learned to date about creating plugs. Regards to all, Chad.
