      I only cast in pewter. Zinc based alloys require a much higher temperature and are more dangerous to cast with.

    • @StaplesandVine
      @StaplesandVine  3 года назад +2

      Hi Rubeno, glad you liked the video. Unfortunately rubber moulds are totally unsuitable for brass casting, they will just catch fire - not good. Try searching 'lost wax / investment casting' . That is how brass is traditionally cast

  • @jasonlanning2394
    @jasonlanning2394 Год назад +1

    Why are the vents cut to the perimeter? Could they be brought back closer to the center, ensuring to avoid feed mouths and drilling to the top of the mold? Would this prevent overflow spilling.
    Thank you for the wonderful layout of your videos. They are very educational and provide all the right information.

    • @StaplesandVine
      @StaplesandVine  Год назад +1

      Thanks for the comment Jason. The metal flowing down the vents is not a problem as the excess is easily removed on clean up. The primary goal is good casting quality which is way more important and more difficult to achieve. 🙂

    Great video series! I love your videos in general. Im new to these processes for pouring pewter and had few questions. I was wondering what makes you choose the vulcanized rubber method vs the silicone? Is one better for some things then others? Does one result in better details? Also I was just curious, I questioned it and wavered back and forth but what makes you choose to do pewter castings over “cold-casting”? if you have tried that. Thank you in advance for any help and information.

    • @StaplesandVine
      @StaplesandVine  Год назад

      Thanks Justsomeguy glad you like the series. Lots of questions...
      1. Vulcanised centrifugal rubber moulds give far better quality castings than the cold cured silicone with less distortion and finer detail.
      2. Cold cure silicone moulds are only used by me for one-offs or to convert a 3d printed part into metal.
      3. Silicone centrifugal moulds are available but are more expensive.
      4. Resin / cold casting is fine but fails cannot be re-cyclyed unlike pewter castings which are just re-melted and you go again.
      5. Tried resin casting - didn't like it. 😁

    • @StaplesandVine
      @StaplesandVine  2 года назад

      Even high temperature rubbers don't like Zinc casting (420C) . I suggest you speak to your rubber supplier and ask them to recommend a rubber for your application. If they can't supply you may have to consider a lower temperature metal (Tin alloy).

      Hi Lancelot, thanks for your comment. The molten metal will fill and block any air vent it comes into contact with so they must be kept separate at all times. Getting the air out is crucial for successful casting.

      You can centrifugally cast aluminum, just not using this machine and rubber molds. I've never seen a centrifugal casting setup for aluminum that even comes close to being practical for the home shop hobbyist, or even small production shops. Stuff like that tends to get outsourced.
      I did see a very crude home setup here on RUclips, but that rig didn't even have a containment shield. Even with a full fire suit I wouldn't be caught near a contraption like that. No casting project is worth suffering severe, possibly debilitating or fatal, burns.

    You're throwing a lot of oxides back into the melt. I wonder how badly it would affect the material properties in the last batches.

    • @StaplesandVine
      @StaplesandVine  3 года назад

      The oxides are skimmed off the molten pewter frequently and the regular addition of fresh metal keeps it in good condition. Fluxes are added at the end of a casting session. But to be honest the behaviour of the metal remains very consistent. Atmospheric conditions have a greater affect
