That is Awesome!!! I have never done anything with Cores yet. What is "mold wash" I have never heard of it before. I've had my share of flops. :wave:

Looking good Rob, I know a man who will be happy with that hopper, shame it won't hold water, maybe he's got a bit of JB Weld or his prefered Milliput knocking about :thumbup:
Are you going to do your engine with a similar hopper ?

Methinks Jason is spot on.
I was only speaking to Rob the other day on Skype, and I was shown the fantastic patterns then. Then my thoughts kicked in, and the drooling from the mouth corners started.
Rob had already pre warned me about the failures at the beginning, so knowing what a bit of a perfectionist Rob is, I am sure all will come good in the end.
So this post will spur me on to get all my backlogs finished, allowing me get onto the R&B engine.
