#65 – Ghosts, Goblins & Cutting Edges

It’s Halloween. A Saturday! A full moon! Also not happening because of Covid. It’s a damn shame, but I imagine around the world, a lot more horror movies will be watched.

#58 – Air Bubbles

Air bubbles of one kind or another are inevitable if you deal with materials which start out life as a liquid and then later solidify such as plaster, latex, silicone and resin. Let’s take a look at what can happen, why, and what to do about it. Air bubbles can be small, almost insignificant cosmetic …
