I have a pint can (half left) of Dexter Hysol frekote mold release I used with epoxy castings. Must be brushed on. I also have a spray can of Krylon mold release. It says paintable silicone spray

Have you tried putting the glass + part in the freezer for awhile before trying to remove it? I would also recommend the use of thinned vaseline or spray on furniture wax. KL

I've used thinned vaseline(w/paint thinner) or spray lubricant(WD-40) to seperate 2 piece molds. I assume they would work on glass as well. I generally use sheet styrene for mold backing and have no

I'm trying to cast up some baggage doors (for a M of W cook car, hence semi-freight car relevant) from a flat pattern and using a piece of plate glass to result in a flat back to the parts. I'm using

Yes, the kits include both Wine and Enterprise hardware.

Ned Don is very open to suggestions, and he has greatly expanded his offerings, but he is NOT a model railroader. If you want a freight car part, send him some useful drawings, and explain what the

Bill,   If I'm not mistaken, Enterprise hardware is included with the P2k war emergency hoppers.  Can anyone confirm this?  If not, I'll check when I get home tonight.  If they are correct, I have

When you see Don please remind him to open up the old Dimi-Trains N Scale tooling to find out what the mystery car is that was never run..... Charlie Vlk Victor, Perhaps you could ask him to do

Garth; I was initially interested in what folks could relate about the skid & cover cars, but you bet, I am also interested in the covered gons (i.e., covers that rested on the sides/ends, rather

Victor, Perhaps you could ask him to do side stakes. If we had side stakes with rivets it would make building and customizing hoppers and gons much easier. It seems like an easy thing to tool

My past experience with Tichy (and probably others) is that they don't like to sell one or two sprues. I still have a note taped to my computer desk that says less than 200 x$'s and more than 200

Our (CPD13) division will be going on a tour to see Don Tichy and his factory on April 25. He will also open up his "store" to us for special shopping. I can certainly ask him if he would consider
