Hi Dan, I'm not sure what the PR is. I ordered the alumilite stuff but we will see what happenes. That is why I ordered a small starter kit just to try it out and see if this will be a good thing or not. If it doesn't work out then I won't feel so bad about being out very much money. Gotta learn it some how right? I can learn it one way or the other. Later today I might go down to the hobby store and see what they have. I have been watching the videos on casting and such and some of the people don't use a pressure pot. If one is needed then it will have to wait until my medical expenses are paid off. Casting can be some thing I can do at home and then take the blanks to my shop which is located at my sister's place and then I can turn them there. I ordered some of the pigments too and those are the powder ones so I think those will have a good shelf life until I see if I got the right stuff. Oh well we'll see what happens. I bought one of Fred's molds for the slim line pens and it is the standard one, not the in tube one. I have a bunch of slim line pen kits and tried the polymer clay but they were over baked and they all broke so I'm scraping what is left off the pen tubes and I can reuse those tubes. Fay
