ATM Links

There is very little activity since I made the plaster tool. I am such an enthusiastic guy!

The tool is fully cured and ready to be coated.
I bought Araldite from a local store and applied it on the back surface, just to test it. Kept it away for one day to cure. But I was not very much impressed. Maybe the epoxy didn't hold good enough to the disk because of the dust that I did not remove before applying it. So next day, I removed the epoxy layer completely and it was then that I was really amazed. The whole epoxy had made a strong layer on the surface. I had to literally peel the layer off and then I realised that this is a very good water proofing material. Actually I had earlier doubted that because all the shop vendors told me that Araldite would not stick to POP.
Next, I sand papered the back surface a bit to make it look smooth and then I filed it again and pressed it to make it a bit shiny. Now I am very much sure that there are no loose particles on the surface and I am ready to apply the coat again which I'll be doing tonight.
Meanwhile, let me document the websites that I referred during all my reading. Though the best website is Stellafane, I would also like to thank the following people for sharing their knowledge:
