  • does this run on compressed air or real steam?

  • @Spicyperson9123 Compressed air. Safer and I'm to lazy to make a boiler.

  • We used to use fine green sand,dry,with linseed oil as the bonding agent,worked exceptionaly well,gives a very fine finish.

  • Yes, I'm going to try to make some oil bonded sand now that I have made a muller. I think I will try smokeless two stroke engine oil in the mix. I like the idea that it doesn't dry out or freeze in storage.
