I have a few being cast also, I will post my results with the success and shrinkage.

I scaled the models 3% then let them sit for a few days before casting so we will see how that factor works.

Its tricky because the material itself shrinks on top of the normal shrinkage during the casting process. . .

I am pretty bummed about the material as well.
