to use for the mold? Mud? Forgiveness is not understanding the English use a translator to write messages. You will use clay to make the mold?

As a classic boat owner I should really consider getting into this. Here in Sweden we have to either order expensive hardware from Germany and the UK, or make do with ugly production GRP boat hardware.

graphite is a pretty good parting material for sand molds. are you using oil based sand for your investments or a sand mixed with resin and catalyst?
also, that's a nice furnace. I've always thought about making my own, but I don't have the space for it now.

very nice video, very informative.

Thanks for the compliments. We had a lot of fun doing the video. There are always fume problems especially if using recycled bronze as I do. That's why I did it in my big shop with the doors wide open and a fan blowing as well. Water quench was just so we could handle the product quickly and yes it is a propane jet furnace with fan forcing air to it. Quite simple. Kurt
