Where can I get the supplies to make a mold for casting iron or silver? I don’t like the sandbox method.?
I’ve seen on the internet where people use a pile of sand packed tightly to impress the object they want to cast and pour the molten metal into the hole in the sand. Even with fine sand, this does not produce the smoothest surfaces and sometimes the sand becomes embedded in the casting. I knew someone who cast pewter statues and he used this green foam-rubber looking stuff to make molds. Anybody know what I’m talking about?
