What to do with your extra sprue....

Posted by upnorth on Friday, August 4, 2006 5:07 AM

Do you have a lot of leftover sprue or Evergreen rod styrene laying about your workshop with nothing to do?

Do you ever say "There simply MUST be something I can do with it all!"?

May I suggest trying this?.....

The Czechs certainly do have some interesting perspectives on automotive customizing. Shock [:O]

I make scratch-built parts, tools, paint stir-sticks, epoxy stir-sticks, internal braces, etc.

I built a Maseratti. Doesn't everybody build things with their sprues?

Yeah, I actually make a PBY with sprue. I need to get some radial engines...the sprue engines kept melting.
