[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 1920444, member: 113391"] Cerrosafe will shrink as it cools. In about an hour, when it reaches room temperature, it will be at the chamber’s dimensions. Take photos, measurements and make a drawing for your records. Then after a week, the cast will expand to about .0025” over the chamber’s measurements. If you keep the cast for reference then you have to discount that .0025” from any measurements taken after that week...……….[I]Patience[/I]! You can also make a cast from heated sulfur but [I][U]they are brittle[/U][/I]. I often wonder, given todays epoxies and release agents, if it would be worthwhile to explore making chamber casts using them. If you just need a quick look to check the chamber, we all know bore scopes work. [/QUOTE]
