Thanks Read ReplyDear Sir I am interested in your casting investment and prewash. I am casting up to 150 lbs of bronze at a time with appropiately large investment molds. How can I figure out how long they need to dry before I put them in the kiln and the heat rise/time and temperature ratio for proper results. Also how thick the molds need to be in order to be strong enough for the bronze head pressure. sincerely Jay Lindsay Read Replyi need prices on the white metal gas funace 250lb melting pot the whole set up and the pot and the round thing with the leg the pot sit in thank you very much hoping to buy one this summer. Read ReplyIs there any version of spin casting in which the melt is held in the mold at some temperature and allowed to cool down more slowly. This is for a special project in which we have a hard petroleum pitch mixed with a solid and we want to cast a cylindrical plug and desire the solid to separate centrifugally in a separate layer before the article freezes. Do you or someone else have any kind of equipment where there is an on-board heater for the mold, or maybe the whole platen is inside of an induction heating coil? This is more like a resin and not as hot as white metal, so I think rubber or RTV molds will last OK. The only thing I can find in the literature is some special glass lens casting techniques which are turning inside of a furnace, but these machines are very expensive and very low RPM Thanks for your help Read ReplyI am buying a used conley venture casting spincaster and vulcanizer ( 9 in). I would like to cast miniatures in metal and plastic. The list of materials(number needed to order) to make molds, cast metal, & cast plastic with the machines?
