+We decided to start out with a Sorbitol mix. Following
+[Scott Jolley's](http://ajolleyplace.com/scott.html) lead, we procured
a sample of Polystep-B1 surfactant to make the propellant pourable.
A quick burn simulation suggested 3 grains in an Aerotech 38/360 case with
## Process ##
+The grains were cast on 30 May 2015.

We measured out the potassium nitrate and sorbitol into a sealable plastic
container and shook vigorously to break up the clumps in the sorbitol and
get a good physical mix.
About 4 hours later, the card stock was pulled off the test strand, which
proved to still be a bit on the pliable and "tacky" surface side.

+## Observations ##
+
+After casting, further reading on Nakka's site indicates initial melt is
+at about 91C, or 196F. Fully melted at 125C, or 257F. Discoloration at
+175C, or 347F.
+
+Nakka says wait 24 hours before trying to pull the core rod. The propellant
+will remain pliable after cooling, thus can be deformed if handled sooner.
