You know Michael, that's a great point. Just as soon as the form comes out of the mold, some gofer runs it through the bandsaw so that it will fit their shipping boxes. If that's the reason it's done, then why in the hell hasn't some rocket scientist there figured out that they could CAST THE FORM IN TWO SEPARATE PIECES. I know that Tom Ray's bears come that way so they can be plugged together. A straight cut isn't nearly as good to work with as one cut on a wedge, but dammit, it seems like they COULD get a big enough band saw to cut completely through the form. I hate it when the spiral cut it and then snap it apard. I don't know how you Bondo guys get through that. It's easier with foam but still seem to have been avoidable.

Gasoline asses got their name from an OLD joke. Two boys working in the yard with a mower when the cat came by. One boy grabbed the cat and took the gasoline and poured it on the cat's ass. The cat went wild and ran in circlers around them until finally it fell over. The other boy was terrified and said, "You killed the cat". To which the other replied, "Nope, it just ran out of gas." That's what happens to gasoline asses. They run in circles and end up falling over without having accomplished anything. Now you know.

LOL! Thats great!

We've been using straight bondo on everything, Elk, Moose, large lifesize etc.. for 21 yrs and haven't had one single problem.

I chunk them out and foam them, heck of lot cheaper than bondo and MORE surface area that bonds to each side
