Im out of the mold in 1 hour, no springback (Honduran Hog!) No swearing, no scaring the little kids, no women holding their ears, its eeeeerie! Just a serene wisp of water,little gurgle of the last bits, no burn smell, some fear of scorching, but none! Wow...
Trick seemed to be put the wood on the bottom in paper/water/foil (I soaked a bit more)steel, blanket, steel, clamp it. I was amazed, and so are the neighbors.
Thanks Toddstock!! Its not just the tools, its using them correctly!!
