    Excellent, would love to see more about casting with fillers including the two stage filler casting that you mentioned in this video.

    The look of sand in a casting is pretty cool.

    Would it be easier to mix the filler with part A before adding part B to give more time to a delicate pour?

    • @brickintheyard

      You can mix fillers with part B first, but that makes mixing more difficult. Mixing with part A can contaminate the A if there is any moisture. Mixing A+B first insures that your components are properly mixed. Once sand, or any dense filler, is added it is much harder to mix.

    you should've told us the weight of each of the casts. from the sound of it when you're knocking those pieces on the table, they still sound pretty light, is there actually significant heft to the pieces?

    • @brickintheyard
      @brickintheyard  Рік тому

      I should have done that. They are a lot heavier. I will be doing a follow up video soon. The other thing I didn't show was the strength of these casts. They were much stronger than I expected.

      @@brickintheyard Do you think this type of casting would hold up to heat, mixing the sand filler with one of your heat resistant resin ... I was thinking something along of a seal stamp for hot wax.

    I would kinda worry about oven baking plaster turning it back into straight lime and burning myself

      It sure does! I have had a beard for almost every day of the last 20 years. My children are confused and frightened (like small woodland creatures) when I shave!

    Can you add the filler to part A or B BEFORE the mixing to make sure you don;t exceed the work time?

      dont do it that way, it will make stiring the 2 parts much more challenging.
