Howdy all,
I have been informed that the yahoo's at yahoo lost the latest picture of the embroidery hoops.
My thanks to Jeff Kinzli for offering a different URL for the posting of the picture. Dave. * * *
 
Thanks for the Tip Dave.
Does anyone know and/or will anyone reveal as to how to pot/encase the coil so that it looks more like a professional(commercial) coil. I'm tired of putting them in PVC pipe which looks so home brewed <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":)"> Its seems like two of your forms, in 2 slightly different sizes might be made into a mold that some material could be poured into. I have no idea what material is being used though.
Thanks,
Charles
 
Yo Charles,
Click on the URL below for Alumilite casting resin. The name is misleading as there is no aluminum in the product. It is a two part Urethane plastic resin. You mix the two liquids 50 -50. Alumilite sell dyes to permit you to cast just about any color you wish.
This stuff is easy to use and sets in three minutes!!! Alumilite also sell what is called "microballoons" This is a powder which you can add to the resin. The more you use, the lighter the plastic becomes (until it floats in water)
Ok, take a coil cover for any coil you wish, Fill it 1/3 full of resin. wait about 10 minutes for the hardened resin to cool. Add your coil/s and balance them if required. Now simply fill the coil cover to near the top with more resin. Wait another ten minutes and go treasure hunting!!!
You can place plastic food wrap in the bottom of the coil cover so as to easily remove your new coil or you can simply fill the coil cover. Dave Emery. * * *
 
Hi Charles
I use the electrical conduit ,but I cut a channel in chip board to take the pipe,then I calculate the amount of pipe required,place a cork in end and then fill with hot sand and then cork the other end,and the pipe is then very flexiable to lay in the channelI then use a coupling to join the ends.Next step cut the top of pipe away for the coil to drop in ,then fill with foam,press down when touch dry,allow to dry and then file excess off and paint,you will be surprised at the finish that you get and it will be lighter than pouring resin in around the winding.
This is condensed explanation.
