Hi The holes are to vent the mould the black spray is powderd graphite mixed with alcohol (top tips from Rob Wilson) The piece we cast was in fact full of blow holes (bronze far to hot) Rob came over on monday we re cast them in open top moulds the results were perfect I will put some pictures of the machined parts up Regards John |

That looks great fun, I'd love to have a go myself - you're wife must be much more understanding than mine :bow: Where do you get so much brass / bronze from ??? Would plumbing fittings be any good for home casting ? Cheers Jim |

The bronze cylinder covers cast in the open moulds |

Mate they look fantastic. Is that bronze or brass? According to MY Guru, bronze is a little easier to cast than brass.... Actually MY Guru :med: is the same guy as YOUR Guru :med: ..... young fella goes by the name of Rob W....... talks a lot but he knows his stuff...... :bow: :bow: :bow: (he he ... sorry Rob...) |
