Teton-Bond Petrobond Fine (130 Mesh) Foundry Metal Casting Sand For High Detail (5lb)

I tried this and the 190 Mesh Ultra-Fine. The 190 mesh gave my nothing but trouble. The 130 mesh worked flawlessly! Really sticky stuff, so have a towel handy. I’m new to casting, but had great results with this sand.

Excellent product especially if you're working with lower melting point metals. As described, the part you have to get rid of does turn black and pretty much entirely sticks to what you've poured. Didn't need a ton of effort to get the form to turn out. I will say, if you're doing a larger form that's flat, make sure you press the sand pretty well so you don't get any kind of, "pour" stuck in what you're casting. On my second try it worked exactly as advertised with the finish being pretty smooth. Only very minor sanding was required, and I do mean minor. This is a great product and I'd recommend it. If you haven't done any metal casting before you'll need to do a little trial and error to get it right (like I did) but the sand works.

Using this for large aluminum castings. A surprisingly large amount of the sand turns completely black, dry and powdery after each use. Maybe for smaller pieces (that cool off quicker) there wouldn't be as much degradation?

This sand is easy to work with and my silver pours come out amazing. If its not sticky enough, just mix in a dab of fresh motor oil until you get it where you like it. I save and re-use even the burnt sand with consistent results by finely grinding, sifting, and adding the motor oil. It lasts me almost two months, and I pour every day. The price is beyond great for how much and how long i can use it. Im a repeat buyer because of that.

Highly Recommended

Muy buena

I used this to cast aluminum and it was way more detailed than I thought it would come out. I'll end up buying this again and it was well worth it.

Worked great for intended purpose. Have re-used multiple times.

まだ、使っていません。 アマゾンさんからの注文承りましたのメールは来ましたが、相手からはメールがありませんでした。 メールが無いことと、商品が届かないことに、良くない評価をしたら、良くない評価を取り消してくれと、メールがありました。 結局、商品は海外から無事届きましたが、海外からだから、発送に時間が掛かる等のメールは始めに送るべきだとおもいました。 メールは海外からでも、時間は掛りませんから。

It cost less than my nearby supply and it is better quality I was skeptical about it but it captures the mould well

I'll get a little finer next time, but was as described and arrived quick

Product was late, seller refunded right away, I have product now, offered seller back his money, seller declined. Nice product, works well for what I need. Thank you

very happy with it have made a couple of castings with it and worked great
