Could you use patching plaster instead of clay for the radius? I`m about to make my first mold.

Resto is looking very nice.

Thanks for your kind words, Sandy. On the clay, I agree with Terry. It's easy to work with and makes a very smooth fillet. I'm pretty sure that the only reason I had problems was that I had some pretty tight spots in my mold and didn't get good coverage with the PVA. I'll be sticking with clay fillets, but I'll watch my PVA coverage closely.

Brandon and Ken,
Thanks for your encouragement, too. Ken, If you want to stop by, you're welcome any time. Just be forewarned, I may stick a sander in your hand and put you to work. Of course, I'll have a beer for your other hand.

Dave
