Wow, all that looks like magic! I tired "green sand" like 20 years ago. Never worked out for me, none of it! I did have some success with oil-sand. Paid something ridiculous of few kilos. That was pre internet.... Thanks for showing - really inspirational. Pekka |

Happy days,looks a right good casting does that :clap: :clap: The wire vents you mention,are they serving pretty much the same purpose as piercing with a hacksaw blade,as I have seen others do?......OZ. |

Gently feel it down to the pattern in several places to let the gases escape freely. |
