    Hi! Can I ask if the channel coming from 90° angle to the skull face is better than one coming from the side? Does it give better results?

  • @thatoradebe_trj
    @thatoradebe_trj14 күн бұрын

    Great question. The answer is no, it doesn't give a better result. If you have sand casting rings that have channels from the side, then you can use it

    Really nice. I'm dipping my toe in the water of sand casting and want to make a chunky, men's skill ring. Why did you choose to cast the skull and shank separately? Was it make sure you gor a good pour? Thanks for sharing.

  • @thatoradebe_trj
    @thatoradebe_trj20 күн бұрын

    Thanks for the comment. I'd like to see how your casting goes. I cast the skull and shank separately because it would have been impossible to pull out the wax ring from the sand without destroying the sand. To avoid destroying the sand, it was easier to separate them

I don't know what the brand is. I use a "hard" and a "soft" polishing mop. And I use a compound called "unipol" I hope that helps
