Zesty for life!

Thank you for your videos! I have learned so much from you! The only thing I keep trying to understand is the brand/kind of your glue you use on the stones and do I need to wait for it to set up before I pour my metal? Would love to see a video on how you clean up and bring out the stones as well. Thank you agian! Look forward to seeing your next videos!!

It's a Vaseline type goop for gently adhering the stones in position, it's doesn't dry :)
I think I have a cleaning up video or two up already

You make it look so easy…!

Do not give up. Just keep uploading videos. By the way, I love your bracelets that you wear, the ones that are crooked. You inspired me. Now I know what to do with my 2mm silver wire. 😉 Greetings from Sweden, Västerås.

Love this tutorial so much, and I’ve been trying several time following your steps, but the clay just can’t be removed from the insides of the ring🥲 And I put a lot of baby powder inside of the ring, but the result still the same…

[@sandcasting_with_kirralea]

Sounds like your ring master has under cuts or its a very wide ring. Without seeing images I cant offer you advice sorry. Feel free to email me :)

Can you help me?I have a question 🫠 Are You using Lucas papaw ointment or it’s other paste??

[@sandcasting_with_kirralea]

Yes I am but any petroleum jelly product will work :)

[@jasonphillips5227]

Quick Q….. do you remove solder joins ect when using recycled silver? Or just chick it all in and not stamp it 925 ect…. Curious

[@sandcasting_with_kirralea]

Na I just melt it all down :) It is being cast in it's final form. If I was melting metal to hand make with it would be a different story.

HI! I have a request, could you make a video about choosing stones for casting? I have a problem with raw sapphires cracking after casting. I don't cool them in water, I leave them to cool by themselves, but unfortunately they turn out to be cracked. Maybe you have a suggestion? I would come to your workshop, but I am a bit far from Poland ;) Thank you for your videos and please make more!

[@sandcasting_with_kirralea]

I will keep that in mind for a future video :) Great request

[@aumi.jewels]

Great video what kind of stones did you add in the casting?

[@sandcasting_with_kirralea]

Sapphires and diamonds :)

[@aumi.jewels]

Great video what kind of stones did you use?

[@sandcasting_with_kirralea]

I almost exclusively use sapphires, diamonds and rubies :)
