PRACTICE Materials ??
Ok - I built a mill ( well, 2 if you count the rebuild too - see members gallery for System1). I'm posting here as I figgure that if you mill metal - you might know about the stuff I'm gonna ask about.
Now before I turn REAL expensive materials into dust - what do I use to "proof" the pudding (putting)? I have been using blue and white styro - works good for general fit and all - but been looking for other choices/options - less mess maybe and a bit more durable.
I've seen BLUE WAX occassionally on eBay. ANY GOOD? Worth the effort? Nice that you can apparently recycle it againg and again.
Also seen "Lost-a-Foam" and "Butterboard" referenced too. Where can I find these - I've seen one shop in CA that has both is that the ONLY place? Any good this stuff? Can they hold up to resins when milled too -- might be some material worth trying out - but wondering if there is any experience with these materials or other useful ideas.

Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.
