- As bring on more clients for our lost wax casting and lost resin casting services e needed a more stream line way to devest our flasks. There are quenching and devesting cabinets out there but they are expensive, so why not make our own.
Thanks for watching! - Shannon & Dan

Very cleaver! Thanks for all the details on this process. I have maybe done a dozen vacuum casting in the last few months. And most of the time with only a few failures. But after watching this and some of the other’s I think I will bump up my success rate a bunch. And tomorrow I’m gonna get a pressure washer! Thanks man!
Omg the pressure washer works great! Big time saver for sure, thanks!
You are a fantastic teacher. My casting and jewelry layout looks quite similar to yours and im so thankful to have all your advice. Keep up the great work guys!
Thank you so much!
I love this, this is totally for jewellery nerds (like me! 😊)
Cool man . thanks for this video . :)
Wow thank you so much for this video!!! it was exactly what I was looking for!!!
Glad we could help!
Great video. The multi use cabinet is awesome. I’ve been using a pressure sprayer outside to clean out my castings for a couple of months. It has saved me countless hours! Most of my castings are hollow brass spheres and getting the investment out through the openings is difficult to say the least. The pressure sprayer worked well, but I love your setup with the cabinet. Much more control that way AND it’s multi use! It almost looked like I could fit my vacuum pot in there when I mix the investment.
Q: Do you have a link or any literature on adding the acid to the mixture? I’m not sure it’d be useful for me but that was interesting none the less.
Does the pressure washer come with a tip to not use the longer pole sections? I'm about to go buy this setup and that's the on part I can't figure out.
Wondering if you had to make or purchase something to not use the long pieces.
Thanks for sharing that setup.
i have a question about your 'lost Resin' process. Do you find some resins working better than others but share a common burnout process? I'd love to know what that process is. I've been working on a ring for myself and would rather burn out the resin than make a silicone mold, shoot wax and invest. Print, invest and burnout sounds much better.
When we do resin testing we generally follow the suggested burnout from R&R Plasticast. We have only had 3 of the dozen or so fail completely. We generally don't put in additives to the investment but it was specifically requested for the resin we used in this video.
We can walk you through our burnout process if you like as part of our membership program.
Hi, grate solution but..., I don't have the water unfortunately. Any Ideas on a situation like mine? Thank you
There are chemical devesting processes that lower the amount of water needed. Unfortunately the simplest and fastest way to devest your flask is with a power washer.
TNX ;O)
Where does the water come from to the pressure washer?
There is a medium sized work sink beside the devesting cabinet. We can connect the hose there.
