Technical Notes and Corrections

After speaking with a neighbor in the comments he points out that air can be trapped when large pieces are used. This explains the pockets that were seen in the samples. Perhaps good mixing during the heating process might help with this (which is tricking to do), or heating under vacuum which is more difficult to do in a DIY shop.

Jeremy Fielding My goal is simple. Draw people to engineering with amazing projects; Inspire them with ideas; Then teach them how to do it. I am fascinated with all things mechanical, but most of my projects require multiple disciplines so I also cover electronics, motors, and programming regularly.
