This is why I love this list, there is alway awesome, expert advice, no 
matter what!

I normally take the bean from the oven, and they got right into the 'catus 
juice' in the vaccuum pot.  From there, they are under vaccuum until the 
bubbles stop (maybe an hour or so,) then they soak at normal air pressure 
for about 2 days.

Like I said, this process takes about a week to get the beans ready for 
casting, add a few days for the casting/curing/turning, and I'm wondering 
why I do it! 


Oh well, I know why I do it, I get ot buy MORE TOOLS!  8>)

Enjoy.
