Have other creters (besides spaceman) had problems casting PC around or over
an armature or reinforcing? He said that there is shrinkage resulting in
the reinforcing being loose in a void... have any of you had the same
experience?
Has anyone tried mixing shattered bamboo or other loosely distributed
reinforcing in the PC?
Thanks, Robert-
I sure hope spaceman is right when he sez the PC will shrink away from the object embedded in it, because 3 days ago I cast PC over 6 different artificial siding stones in the hopes it would shrink away and leave me with a new mold to cast the same (only PC) stone again. I've got my fingers crossed.

P.S. I first coated the stones with motor oil as a possible mold release, hope that works also.
