Hi all.Heres the link to the vid
http://video.google....289306391673509

Although it didn't work as expected im still pleased with it.Really like the blue/white bursts,not sure why it did this,any thoughts ?

For some reason the quickmatch failed (im not complaining as it lasted twice as long :) ).I did make some blackmatch the way lancaster describes but the first batch wasn't dry (dam english weather) so used an old batch,but even that stuff was made with my lift meal so it should have been ok,i'll have to start testing my QM before using it :blush:



regards
dean :)

Here's another wheel I made to try out a red colour pot formula I've been tweaking:

Slowed down the 1/2" drivers somewhat to get a better burn time and I'm very pleased with the results.

Very good, were your drivers based around aluminium flitters?

Nearly - they were going to be Kyle's 1/2 inch Firefly drivers, but I decided to replace FeTi instead of Al flitters at the last minute...
