Turned the middle and right bars I cast a few days ago. Much less porosity than the first one on left, quite happy with that. Should be much better cast into sand the proper way.
Been raining all day so couldnt get outside for welding or make up a casting box. The green sand is taking ages to dry out too.

Brass is a funny one to cast.
I have had mixed success with it.
The best was when I used a green willow stick. Then cleaned the dross off, before pouring.

On TDCI engine you have to pull air through the low pressure side of the injection pump. All the hoses are plastic with moulded fittings so I doubt that would do the trick....

Whats the willow stick for?

 

[123hotchef]

I wondered what the material was that I made the roof from.
It appears to be Solid Grade Laminate cubicles (SGL)
Weights a fook ton very dense and hard, sounds like it is water resistant too.
I might not even bother felting it now.

I draw the line at petrol . . . but white spirit cleans the gun out so its useable next time for underseal - I try to make sure there are no flames or hot things around.
