Can you avoid that thin line in the middle?

[myfordboy]

@3goldy You always get a line where the mould parts but it is easily removed with a file. This is a feature of full size engines you can always see the mould lines.

is that green sand easy to find? or do you make it from other sand? just subbed your sight, so i haven't watched all yet. you may have answered this already.

is it expensive?i want to try it eversince i was a child, but dont know where to start

[myfordboy]

@HomeDistiller No. The core sand is just plain sand from a builder supply, like you would use to make motar for bricklaying. I don't want that stuff in my greensand.
