Foundation making

[mbc]

And ten foundations cut to national size come to 746g I make that 74.6g a sheet, or about 13 1/2 sheets per kilo

That would be interesting to know. My first efforts with my silicone mould were around 120g per sheet whereas Thorne suggest about 75g per sheet with theirs (which is close to identical as far as I can see). Mine are improving as I get more practiced though.

I'd also be interested to know how you cut them to size. I have one of those heated foam-cutting wires that I'm tempted to try, and failing that a hot knife of some sort.

(I'm making this stuff up as I go along. Can you tell?)

Well done and kerp going as you'll get better at it. Cut a 5mm plywood template the size of the finished foundation sheet you want for the appropriate frames. Fit a wooden handle on it to hold it down as you cut. Best done when the wax is warm.

Would like to see your finished foundation.

I might have to sit it in the airing cupboard for a while then. "Shed temperature" has turned a little brisk over the last few days.
