Listening to the tone of the pieces dropped on the hard ground, I can tell that the filled resin is much stiffer than the unfilled. Even more so accounting for the density.
Question: When I mix a filler (sand) with your heat resistance resin, will it diminish the heat resistance of the casted piece. I was thinking along the lines of a Hot Wax Seal Stamper piece (with the mixed filler).
If the material is already heat resistant, I would not mess with it. I don't think sand would adversely effect the heat deflection, but test to make sure. This technique is mainly for making big casts cheaper.

Thanks man
You're welcome!
I've never thought of that , thanks
Excellent!
very informative ... thank you
Thanks for sharing this method. Can (should) we use a pressure pot for this method to eliminate bubbles?
Yes you can
Love the wear test. I was wondering how durable the filled castings would turn out. Good to know.
Thanks David!
Thanks for the video
You are welcome! Thanks again for the video inspiration.

Doing the methods used on the chess piece, how much might it cost to cast a full set I wonder.
It would probably cut the cost almost in half, but you would need to know total cubic inch volume to calculate that.
