GB, I'm not knocking anything, I fail to see where you've got that idea from.
Forget that I made a suggestion, I only meant you well!!
All the best, Matthew

Matthew I got that idea from your initial post I"ll not bore you by quoting it. Your well wishes are kindly noted.

Not much to update today,Its been sprinkling for part of the day and threatening worse. I did manage to temper my clay graphite crucible which I had forgoten about. Heated the furnace to 300*F then shut it down and let it sit closed up for 2 hrs. Fired it up again and slowly fired it up till the crucible was a bright red heat, shut it down and closed it up. Will let it sit overnight to cool down.
I also got the used green sand remixed and back into my mold bench. Made an adjustment of 2% clay and mixed it dryer. I am hoping for a little more green strength to reduce incluesions and I think I need to vent more and pour faster to reduce gas in the mold.
Cheers

for example, we absorb through the skin. It has been argued that the oxidisation on kitchen utensils prevents or at least diminishes the picking up of Al in food. I do not intend to argue with you about heavy metal poisoning, my intention is to point out that when we can protect ourselves, it can be a good idea. Alzhymers disease is thought to be associated with Al poisoning.
Al the best, Matthew

My understanding is that high levels of aluminium have been (are) found in the brain tissues of Alzheimer sufferers. In our household I discourage the cooking of fruits that have strong acid juices in aluminium utensils - I prefer to use stainless steel utensils (but maybe they have problems too? I just haven't encountered that literature.) It's a policy that has a very low implementation cost!

I don't think a discussion on the health hazards of handling different metal in our lives belongs here. Please start your own thread on this subject if you want to continue this discussion.
