So… Have you ever broken a soapstone mould when you were almost finished it? Just cracked a big bit off by mistake, or been a little heavy handed and hit a fault line? Did you know they are repairable? Did you know that with the right glue you can stick the piece back on? If you did… Thanks for keeping quiet about it. 
If you didn’t…
You can!
By using Dow Corning 744 Silicon Adhesive/sealant I managed to fix one of my soapstone moulds and successfully take more castings from it… if the crack is through part of the mould, you will probably get a bit of a raised line along the crack when you cast, depending on how you finish/clean the edge when gluing… but the silicon holds, and withstands the heat quite easily. I shall experiment more as necessity demands, and let you all know if anything changes.
Anyway… Back to the task at hand… and put away this distraction… Room cleaning tutor needed… anyone wanna sit and drink coffee and keep pointing out bits that need to be done? Ahh well… it’ll be worth it.
It’s tempting, but I’d need to know where you live.
and I’ve got many things to do this week, but they all have times…
I wish I knew the symbol for the smiley grin with all the teeth showing. : )
It’s all about the bed.
-Dead animals out from under the bed or anywhere within the covers and banished to the garden or another housemate’s room.
] or around desk to make self look busy, organised and dedicated. If there are enough, spread to all suggested locations. SCA and other medieval things should stay at the top to impress visitors or in the least give you a personal sense of focus.
-Dirty clothes, old towels, linen go under the bed unless the laundry is within chucking distance.
-Clean clothes in a cupboard or something resembling same. *Not* under bed with dirties.
-Papers and things shaped like books in stacks under bed, holding up bed [so if you didn't know who I was, now you do
-Shoes under bed. Tie laces for easy and rapid retrieval.
-All evidence of SCA hobbies and responsibilities may as well be left in situ. This is sure to give the appearance of a dynamic and complex personage and has the extra benefit of tempting visitors to want to touch your toys. Under supervision, of course.
Hmmm… I wonder who that was…
hang on a second!
Slowly dawned on you did it.
I didn’t even need to get to the stack of papers holding up bed bit to work it out. 
Okay, enough already from the peanut gallery! It was late! I was tired! And I didn’t start out planning to be anonymous. I just went with it once I realised I couldn’t choose a picture of the Green Team without logging in. So then I went back for some silly editing.
And where I come from, the locating of dead animals (in halves, vomited or not vomited) before guests arrive is quite high on my list. There’s one out the front as we speak, to welcome traveling salespeople, the godsquad and of course, friends.
I hope you took the opportunity to display it properly for the aforementioned task? You know… nailed to the door splayed out for all to see.
Splutter!
I’ve never tried…
