Rocking the house in hydrocal
by Bob Boudreau
It is also my first kit made from Hyrdocal, a plaster like material. The dense Hydrocal also makes the kit fairly heavy, and this can make it difficult to ship without breakage. Mine was well packed in the box, with wall pieces surrounded in bubble wrap and fastened to heavy cardboard with rubber bands. And the Post Office still managed to handle the package in such a way that there was breakage on the front wall of the kit. Not really a problem though, as it was quickly repaired with some yellow carpenters’ glue.
