I just wanted to say thanks to Roger for responding to my request for this information. Not all people are as willing to share their knowledege of casting. Thanks Roger!

Don't worry, Roger mixes his molds with a "passion for the hobby" so they can rarely be duplicated. Thanks, Roger for sharing your creativity with the likes if us.

Hey Joe, I don't think that forum exists any more. I could be wrong though. Best to PM Roger and ask him.

One question. Can this Hydroshrink stuff still be found? After doing a lot of searches, all I find is articles from 2004 to 2007. Even the model building message boards don't have any 'new' updates on it. Haven't tried to contact the manufacturers yet, not really sure if I want to waste my time if it isn't available any more anyway.
