Wax Plumbing


The ideal would be to cast Huey in a single large pour - fewer cooling and shrinking problems. Due to budget and shop limitations that wouldn't be possible, so, the wax Huey would be cast in four smaller pours; lower then upper front half, and lower then upper back half. After that, all the parts would be fitted together.

Here is the beginning of the pour set-up. Pre-heating the fiberglass mold and the pouring plumbing was a necessity to ensure an even flow through out the mold.
