I think sealants are recommended, which I'll try next. Using the silicon to make a negative in which to duplicate wax positives works. I'm now experimenting with making a silicon postive, on which I'd cast investment negatives. That way I could skip the burnout process -- convenient, and it removes leftover wax volatiles from the list of unknowns that could be messing up the casts.
The fancy-schmancy term for the pile of shards is debitage. Flintknapping, like bicycles, picked up a bunch of French terms. You don't hit it with a stick, you hit it with a baton.
Yes, the park is very small and very open. It wasn't very subtle. Nor, unfortunately, particularly interesting to watch.
