Lost Foam Casting Address Sign

Ойын-сауық

lost foam casting an address sign for our house. The sand casting project works out great and once the aluminum cooled we cleaned it up and then 2 part epoxied the background to make the letters pop.

    I'm impressed at the detail (sharp edge). Also, i thought some kind of coating on the foam would be necessary to prevent the sand from collapsing as the foam melts, but that is not the case.

    lol, blessing and a curse. The large furnace has issue melting brass & Bronze due to the size. just wait I have a 24"x24" I'm doing in a couple weeks. That will be cool

    It`s amazing!!! I didn't know before that you could cast metal directly into the sand. How did you come up with the idea of using a construction vibrator?

    Ok, great question. so here is another rabbit hole for you to go down on KZread . Check out kelly cofields channel. This is one of the first guys that I learned from and have been profecting it on signs . He makes car parts but uses a different coating. Originally he started with plaster like a lot of us have .

    Engine hoist would solve all of your problems ,you can lift crucible with it(add a steel cable so you can pour in steady) and that heavy sand barrel .And since you wont be lifting heavy stuff cheap import one will do just fine.

    That's a thought. I would need paved surface however. Unless I cut it and put a piviting hard on it and burryed it in the ground to anchor it. Hummm got me thinking not :)

    You will probably get a better finish if you use a finer mesh on the sand

    Thanks for your input Michael. The plaster give an amazing finish however the poor surface finish you see may be coming from the foam not finished

    Totally, it's a pretty cool process. I have done a couple of pours that would have been good to have extra hands. I usually am pouring during the week because of my shift work though and all my buddy's are at work. Check out the massive casting video. Now there where a guy could have used extra hands :)
