[Hallicrafters] Casting Old Knobs

[~DA~]

I'm not familiar with the Alumilite, but make sure
your using the correct measurements and your scale is
exact. Any little bit, short or extra can throw your
product off. The knobs will either come out sticky and
never dry or can be rubbery and never harden. 

Also, watch how much dye you put in as this can also
change ratios, hence results. Add just enough dye to
get the desired colour.

Once you get it down it should give you good results.

If all else fails... read the directions again.
