Have you tried "Petro Bond" oil sand for casting Aluminum? I use it. Very easy to ram up and makes great castings with very little or no venting!

@gwheyduke That's what I'm using now, green sand was too hard to keep conditioned - I'm lazy.

did you use a core for the void in the base?

@BuickDoc I did not need a core for the base void because of the angles of the sides allow the cope to lift off the pattern without a problem when I got the sand mixed properly.
