grimme Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 ive made a aertful bodger waste oil furnace and after some exciting first few runs it now is house trained. after seeing the post about miniture anvils i thought thats a brilliant iconic practise shape to work on. i made a split pattern in MDF and cast an ali that came out ok so quickly rammed up another mold and did one in iron. ive tried to post a pic but dont know where its gone? in every answer i find 2 more questions, after my initial success ive been plauged with problems and blamed the sand to dry, to wet, not enough active clay not enough draft on the pattern, i think im getting there but not quick enough for my liking. ive just cast 2 12"x2" blanks to machine up for muller wheels. does anyone use degasser and flux for ali? if so what?
