  3. Hmm, resin. So how would one go about doing this for an
    existing part? For say a GL1000 muffler? ;^) I suppose one
    could use the original end at the collector and at the
    tip...

    I know the voices in my head aren't real. But, I think some
    of their ideas are pretty neat.
    Yes, I need money. Madness has taken it's toll and I'm a bit
    short.

    Perhaps it's a good thing you didn't succeed, because PVA vapors will kill
    you quickly if you're not set up to spray it. You know that really awesome
    barrier it makes between your resin and your pattern? Inside your lungs it
    works just as well. Makes my skin crawl thinking about it. I wonder if you
    have to drown and resuscitate somebody to save them from "the green fog of
    death"?

    The only research I've ever done on the subject was talking to people who
    were modelmakers at Boeing, and they were all pretty negative when it came
    to spraying PVA. Maybe it's a matter of scale, since they were dealing with
    patterns 15 feet by 20 feet in size.

    Something to do with B-2 skins. The masters were actually full-length
    pieces (more than 100 feet long) made from aluminum and covered with scribe
    lines so they could pull plaster splashes off of various sections.
