Hello everyone,
I'm knew to this site, and this will be my first time making a foundry. Im using a can made by the Wilkes Bertles Can Co, Barre PA. It's 7 3/4" tall it's inside diameter at the bottom is 9" and the top inside diameter is 10 18". The material is about the same as that of a coffee can. I'm looking for materials needed to make the Insulating Castable Refractory. I did come across a site using High Temperature Furnace Cement and Perlite mixed with water. I'm confused at how much i should use, and how to put it inside the can. Remember this is my first attempt, and i will be melting aluminum with the use of charcoal as my fuel for my learning process. Hopefully moving on to bigger challanges as using used cooking oil as my fuel with the use of propane to heat the oil. Can anyone help? Thank you. Ram01.
