Laps

Hi all,
here is a picture of a couple of laps I made using Ardit instead of using plaster. Ardit is a floor leveling concrete compound used before tiling of floors. I used it when I ran out of plaster one time and found it to be really strong and good to use. It sets quickly and just before it dries you can shape it with a rasp to get a good shape. A few coats of paint on the back and rim of underside and then add pitch. I used the larger one with hard pitch to polish my mirror and it turned out spherical right to the edge. The smaller one was used for figuring using soft pitch.
