Interesting process. I don’t do metal casting so I had to look up what a match plate was for and how it is used. It should definitely save a lot of time in manufacturing! I should point out I’ve only done mold making with silicone for resin casting.
I actually have some of that stuff and I'm anxious to put it to use. There are times I could make up multiple resin patterns to save me significant time
Thanks, it was enlightening to see you work with a match plate format and use Petro-Bond for the sand which should have given a better surface than it did. Of course you can make a match plate pattern on a plate (plywood, etc.) and use it between the flasks, but it will wear out much faster than the aluminum one you made. What flux did you use with the aluminum? Great work!
Thanks, I only use petrobond for production patterns. I have used matchplates but they don't work well for me. They never come out clean, I don't use a squeeze jolt which would make plates ideal for that of course.
Oh man I thought you only cast iron. didn't realize you did soft metals. Theres a ton of glass Blowing dip molds for fluting glass bubbles when molten made of aluminium and bronze. I have a bunch of ideas for some of my own designs ahh very thought provoking jndeed.
I've experimented with it and because of time restraints I have to go with the fastest process. I actually have ceramic slurry and I have dabbled with plaster and sand in the past.

The match plate will be worth the extra work.
Cheers, Gary
Yes even if only 3 turn out, much better than 1

very interesting though, learnt a lot as always
I always learn myself Emma👍🏻

Do you have a website or email for the foundry?
Yes windyhillfoundry.com
have you tried using plaster of paris and lost pla method , would create a flawless plate

Looking good to me
I'll try to ram this soon Chris, anxious to verify my alignment
First comment!!
You distracted me.
Lol, I didnt know there was a race
