There was so much interest in the investment mix video (#75) I wanted to show you the others things I made with it. In the beginning of this video I show the process of using the invest mix but I don't talk about it because all the information is in video #75 Investment Mix (Link below).

Nice!
Great video Susan. I have been experimenting with the investment mix both in the microwave kiln and the glass kiln. The clock is beautiful!

Wonderful idea. :) My mom would have loved this. She loved Mickey Mouse. I saw the affiliate link to the product text but there was no link for a product just a UA-cam video? - Heidi
How about making something in wax, invest it, steam it out and load the investment with glass to cast an object? too advanced for your viewers? I want to see your solution for cold working the horrible finish the investment leaves behind. If you look at the depressions on the back of your mickey clock, you'll see what I'm talking about. That's the negative side, I need the positive nice and shiny without having to slump.
worldtraveler I’ve definitely considered trying this type of casting but I agree it would be way to complicated for a 15-30 min video. I’ve seen some glass artists that are know for casting get a beautiful finish. I believe their investment Mix is slightly different & more effort is made to remove bubbles in the Investment Mix.

@@SusanMcGarryGlass I looked at his work. Nice stuff, but again, no clarity to 95% of his stuff.
@@SusanMcGarryGlass I'm successfully casting what I need in glass, however I've shot down 2 investments already. Even moldmix 6 produces this hazed result. I'm starting to think the only real solution is to cast in polished stainless steel molds or countless hours of coldworking. Removing bubbles from investment is easily done with a cheap vacuum pump. It's not bubbles in the final piece. I've even tried boron nitride coatings and same result. Take a look at this and tell me how you think these were made. I bet your first guess is Dalle de verre.... but look closer at the lower edge of the glass in the second photo. They appear to be cast as they all are identical. You cannot chip dalles with this kind of uniformity and you cannot cast identical complex shapes like this with this kind of clarity. Quite the mystery isn't it? www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-victorian-era-chunk-glass-1920585459
I posed the question to Mark. Let's see if he has any good ideas. Once upon a time, I believe cast glass was dipped in an acid to smooth the casting. That's where the road ends for me. :-(
