Besides, I am sure we can stretch the deadline a day or two. If you are capable of doing this, I suggest you stop making excuses about your writing abilities and deadlines, and just do it. If you do a demonstration you do not need to write a paper or presentation. Let the demo speak for itself. After the conference I will write a comprehensive description of it. > Right now I am struggling to learn how to use “lost wax” casting of Pd > +23%Ag alloys for making a toroid.

I would prefer something shorter describing an excess heat demo, but if you wish to talk about lost wax instead, submit this. PLEASE do no talk about Model A Fords. That's all I ask. - Jed
