There was no liner; I produced channels: a positive print of the

an engine. Then removed the plastic from the channels.
That's an interesting approach.
So were the channel serrations visible on the inner wall or the outer
wall or was the material thick enough to cover it completely? I'm just
wondering about the smoothness of the combustion chamber wall.
Would you recommend this approach as a good way? Was your evaluation of
the results beneficial enough to consider this approach worth
duplicating again?
