I decided I wanted myself instead order a ready-made, and of the way film was made. I cut him cruelly to remove offensive words and eliminate members of the public.

What came of this, here you see.

Thanks for the video

What are you using as a binder for your sand?

Water ? :) This is a commercial sand, my boss bought it online.

Ideally, a non-silica sand. I used olivine for 40 years. 3-6% Bentonite clay, enough water to hold it together, 1-3 %.

It looks like Petrobond, which is a commercial oil sand. Please be very careful with water around casting work - any moisture in the pot can blow molten metal all over the place. I always preheat metal to be added to the crucible on the forge to make sure it is dry. Wet tongs could also be a problem if any water finds its way into the melt.

Just out of curiosity, what is your native language spoken on the video?

If water it's greensand. Petrobond requires adding the oil based binder now and then but not water.

not sure why but one casting lab I was in used stoddard solvent in the sand mix.

Stoddard solvent dissolves the polymerized bonds of some oil bonded sands so they can be reused.

A local caster friend of mine near here prefers resin bonded sand.

HWooldridge, I am careful, molten metal play with me does not since yesterday. I had earlier make casting silver and brass, aluminum is a easiness of. I added water because I thought it was the best choice, it looks like the bentonite, that sells so declared , and I had nothing else available :)
