Problems with the sand mix?

Looking good! Were these the parts that you were thinking about a steel mould for?

Casting is such fun! Regards, Matthew.

awemawson:
well done Sir  :thumbup:

Nice when a problem gets solved  :beer:

Yes Matthew I decided it was a waste of time in the end, if these things take off then I will need to invest some money into some proper di's so I can get them dicast. While the quantity needed is low I am willing to spend the time making sand molds I am in the process of making 4 flasks so that should suffice for now.

HEY!!!  Another fellow metal caster!!  Awesome!

I do the "Mulling March" with my greensand.  Lay it out on a tarp.  Stomp the crap out of it.  Add liquid.  Stomp the crap out of it.  Do a squeeze test.  Stomp the crap out of it.  Adjust with more liquid or dry sand....Stomp the crap out of it.

You get the idea. Stomp the crap out of it. Stomp the crap out of it. Stomp the crap out of it. Stomp the crap out of it. Stomp the crap out of it.

You're obviously pulling up the sides of the tarp after each iteration of "Stomp the crap out of it" to make a good mixture, pile in the middle of the tarp and then flatten, make a pile, flatten, make....Oh for pity sake, you get the idea.  BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
