Whats the burnout schedule on this like? does it work well for stone in place type casting? (assuming since its resin it won't melt around stones like wax?

What does the cool down from 1415 to 1220 buy you in terms of elimination of the ash from the resin?

This is the first time I've seen a staged drop from peak temperature to casting temperature.

Wish I could tell you. It's a burnout developed for us by jewelryservices.com

They never miss with their castings. All perfect results, so must be doing something right :)

How much heat (degrees) can SolusCast withstand when put in oven (for annealing) or in the vulcanizer (when making rubber molds) before skin starts to crack?

Great news Bill! Please post some pics if you can. You're using our UV curing unit correct?

I'm having issues getting mine to print. It prints the supports great, but my models don't attache. Iv'e tried three times and get same results with different models. When I opened my bottle there was a lot of gummed up resin at the cap. Even after shacking. Been very busy the last few day and haven't had time to play. And now I may have to get ready for Irma, depending where it goes.

How thin are the support tips? The initial supports that "hold" the model need to have thicker support tips. At least 0.3mm and ball tips.
