what is a good casting metallic material?
hey, I was wondering about a month now that a metallic material is good casting. I tried to make a compound found off the Internet that make fun of marble, but it did not work, simply mix crake apart when I removed the mold, and I'm going to try concrete next door, so please if you have recommendations please help me out and post a link to the recipe thanks necessary.
Once again Mike is man … Plaster / silica is your best bet, you can achieve the level of fingerprint details. Plaster of silica is very good for lost wax casting and … But do not forget the mold material, best of all, pure sand. There are two gas resin and sand-enabled products out there … You can do openly, and more complex sand molds and is very easy. You can even carve in the sand! (Exhibit "size" with a power screwdriver) My comments are aimed at casting bronx metals such as iron, aluminum, etc. If you want the jewels and the study of metal I can not be of much help .. Sad
