Hey Jon

It works better with a polished stainless steel mandrel. You can leave it on the mandrel until completely cool and avoid shrinkage. The same mandrel can be used for baking polyclay bores (polyclay is pre-cured PVC) and even "no-fire" ceramic. I also recommend you try at least one flute made of clear acrylic Lexan tube.
