So many things on the go here at once, but now that my furnace is workable I need to get the moulding business organised.
I have an old fibreglass 3/4 length bathtub that I am thinking of using for the basis of my moulding bench, with a hinged lid and a moulding board that can slide from side to side, perhaps a divider down the middle to make two separate sand compartments. I'd appreciate thoughts on whether this is a workable idea or if I should leave it for the cattle to drink out of.
Also I am having trouble finding bentonite clay, seems it's used in all kinds of quack-medicine and beauty products so goes for a zillion dollars an ounce at the faith-healers supply but can't find it elsewhere. So I'm thinking of using oil-bonded sand, have read that synthetic 2-stroke oil is good and I have some of that. Once again, would appreciate any guidance here, this is all totally new to me. I'm itching to pour some metal.
