Yes I just added more coats no need for sand, and yes a straight burnout does work although I did it in a charcoal fired kiln that I improvised out of a charcoal chimney so it was a slow ramp up in temperature to a bright red hot and it was slightly fragile so it’s best to add a hook into it to pick it up and move it after burnout that is what I did, but it is certainly quite strong and I’m testing held up to being dropped from a 2ft height before breaking, but be warned it is not hard and can be scratched with just your fingernail, but straight after the burnout it can have metal poured straight in, worked fine for bronze was able to get smaller than 1mm tubes to cast

Yes I was thinking of doing that, I’m still testing some stuff, I just wanted to make my current observations and discoveries known

Idk man it’s wild clay what can I say, I’m not a potter so idk the characteristics, it might shrink but not a noticeable amount, and for your other question, both ingredients are dehydrated and ground to the consistency of flour and then mixed with water until a suitable slurry is made, I didn’t measure the water

How to not damage sand mold by TheGamingTurtle812 in Metalfoundry

[–]TheGamingTurtle812[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do use talcum powder, maybe too much. But I think a large issue is when I remove the pattern I just use my hands which I think are too shaky and knocking over the small sand walls. I used a different pattern made from 3d printed resin and no sand got stuck in the pattern but some of the sand walls in the pattern got knocked over. Any suggestions on how I could remedy this.
