How to cast skulls and bones I want to know about casting
and moulding with I suppose
resin. Is it possible to cast
small objects such as bird or
rabbit skulls without danaging
the actual skull?

of you want to make replicas you first need to make a mold. since bones are pourous you probably need to seal them before using any of the molding compounds available. I use mold builder - it is a latex like paste that you brush on the item you want to mold - you would brush 5-6 coats on and let it dry and then peel it off and you have a mold. another thing you could try is those kits for making the 3D mold of a kids hand - it comes in a bucket - you mix the stuff right in the bucket and then put the item in until it sets and then pull it out and you have a 3D mold ready to pour into. |

Is cast iron cookware safe to My mother's vintage home
burned recently... it had
solid pine car siding on the
interior walls and ceilings.
Anything that wasn't consumed
by the fire was left coated
with a mixture of black soot
and pine oil that cooked out
of the car siding. It was a
particularly hot fire since
her home also had a solid tin
roof and that held the fire
and heat in rather than
allowing it to burn through
and vent out. The fire was so
hot that even the china and
earthenware dishes incinerated
turning to a powder. So I am
concerned that the cast iron
she salvaged might be
contaminated. It is porous and
I am concerned that it might
have absorbed chemicals from
the fire that would be at best
unpleasant if they seeped into
her food and at worst might be
poisonous. Can anyone advise
me about this?

Cast iron is not porous. It does not absorb contaminants. What you need to do is make certain that the surface is clean. That means heavy-duty scrubbing with a brillo pad. If you have a dishwasher, run the pans through several times. After that, I recommend rust remover, like naval jelly. Finally, rub it all over with vegetable oil, let it sit overnight, and then wash with soap and water. This kind of cleaning is kind of sad, because old cast iron cookware is usually well-seasoned, and it takes many years to do that. The methods I just described will destroy the seasoning. But the seasoning is the part that might hold contaminants. To season the pan again, never use soap on it and and rub cooking oil on the inside before you store it. Some people speed up the process by putting the oiled pan on a burner so it gets hot--but not hot enough to burn the oil. I would never go through this to save a pan, but I understand why somebody would if it is all they could salvage. |

How do you cast on when you I am knitting a sweater for
the first time. I am making
the back and when it's time to
make the sleeve, it says to
cast on stiches. How do you
cast on for the sleeves if you
have already knit 13'' for the
back?

The stitches you have for the back should be put on a stitch holder. You can get them at a craft store and they look like an oversized pin. You would pick up the stitches when you have the sleeves and the front made. Look further into your instructions and you will find the info. Also check the pattern as the 13" you mentioned [if it's for an adult] would only take you from the beginning [bottom ribbing] to the bottom where the sleeve joins the back and front of the sleeves. It should go on further and tell you to decrease X amount of stitches and then X amount every X amount of rows until you have X amount of stitches on your needle. These are the ones you put on the stitch holder. If this does not ans. all your questions or I can help you any further check my avitar and e-mail me. |
