Here is what he said:
"The stabilizer he prefers is called Godfrey Wing 95-1000A. It costs
about $450 for 5 gallons. The stabilizer consists of 2 parts, but
must be heated to set. The stabilizer once mixed can be stored up to
2 years in a fridge until it is used. The purpose of a stabilizer
is to take a piece that would normally just fall apart and to cast it
into a solid piece. Once cast the piece can be cut,
turned, carved, etc. and it will still hold together as one piece."


amazing stuff

amortize the price over the club and sell quarts and price not so bad

their main business seems to be filling voids and gaps in castings
which struck me as odd

from my little experience in casting if you had voids and gaps then
you did a bad job in setup

maybe they are working at a micro scale though
