Wow I'm very impressed
Pretty good I think for a small set up like that.l love metal of all kinds by the way ❤.
What is Top Bond B comprised of? Is it purchased or made in house?
How cool it would be just to hang with you guys for a day😂
Love the huge pour! So many questions....How long did you have the torches on the sprues? Was that green sand or oil based? Did you heat the molds to harden them or simply to remove moisture? What was the liquid you sprayed on the mold? Finally, what was the part for? Thanks for you time.
The torches were on the risers for about 2 hours, until the metal level stopped dropping. I used a green sand. I didn't heat the molds, I was just burning off the solvent in the mold spray. The mold spray is called Top Bond B, it hardens the top layer of sand so it doesn't wash around in the mold. They are heater plate components for plastic pipe welding equipment.
@@collinsurbert212 thanks for covering all my questions! That will help me if future casting as I have attempted pouring a brass bell and have 2/6 successes so far.
Wow!
Hmm I would think a pour like that wouldn't turn out good
nice work, can you tell us why you heat the holes?
I'll refer you to the narrated version of this video. I believe the answer is there. czcams.com/video/HLmjmUPlqfo/video.html
👏💪👍🔥💯
...it would be great for my understanding when you can tell me the use of the casted part. Thx !!
As noted in a reply to mr.smileyken6364, "They are heater plate components for plastic pipe welding equipment." How they exactly work is unknown, but I’m guessing the pipe is rather large diameter.
