I wanted to spin up some conversation about what you guys want to see when Jonathon comes up in September.

PR or Alumilite?

Any special requests?

So let me ask the obvious. Is there still a desire to have a casting demo? I haven't received responses from anyone via email or on this post except for John and I think one other person.
 
Quite honestly, I think most CPPG members are unaware of this venue; email may be a better way to get to them. Let me know if you need their addresses.
 
I sent out an email some time ago that you and I think one other person responded to and that was it.

Just trying to make sure there is actual interest.
 
Carl,

I am pretty sure there is interest, but this may be a case of folks not knowing what to ask for. We may get a better idea of the specific interests by listing several casting related options and asking members to choose their first, second and or third choices.

For example:

* Casting blanks with single colors
* Casting blanks with multiple colors (two, three, more?)
* Differences between PR and Alumilite both in casting and turning
* What PR varieties are available? Which is better? Why?
* Casting objects in PR (watch pieces, bottle caps, labels, photos, stickers, other stuff)

BTW, that last topic is one of the ones covered by Barry G at Arrowmont in the class I attended. Be happy to share.

Thoughts?
