Hi Nikky,
If you want to learn more, please visit our website crucible for sale.
any specific reason to go for cuttle fish casting? Have you checked
out Delft Clay casting? Delft clay is a form of sand casting capable
of reproducing very fine details. You can find a lot of tutorials
on-line (a google search turned up delftclay.nl - This website is for sale! - delftclay Resources and Information.
as a site also including tutorial videos - no I’m not connected
It has some of the limitations of other sand casting i.e. no
undercuts but is really easy to learn. Not very expensive either -
the clay can be reused for long - it is just the surface closest to
the object (that was melted silver) that has to be scrapped…
The hardest bit to learn is to make the vent holes so your pour is
successful and finishing afterwards is as easy as possible.
Contact us to discuss your requirements of 3 Inch Crucible. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.
You need the clay, two aluminium rings (explained in the tutorials)
to pack the clay into, talcum powder to prevent the two half’s to
stick together (you need to get the master out), a steel ruler to
even out the delft clay in the ring, a hammer (medium size) to pack
the clay with, a sharp knife to make the sprue with and a 1-1,5 mm
drill (or piece of wire) to make the went holes with
And the cubicle you asked about of course - I use “std” type with a
tong that the cubicle is screwed tight in place in - i.e. no risk for
accidently loosing your grip - don’t know what’s available in the UK
though…
Check it out - it’s a great technique…
