Hi , I cut the end of the hoses of the tiny precicion torch and converted them to insert in the adjustable regulator with gauges cuz didn’t find this gauge that have female end that fit to the male hose end, but the Oxygen end leaking, while the butane hose’s connected to cooking cylinder successfully. Could you direct me where to buy this kind of regulator with gauge for the oxygen? Thanks 🌷

Hey Dave, where did you get the organoclay (bentone-34?) to make your K-bond sand? I was able to get enough (VG-Plus brand) as a free sample to make about 40# of K-bond out of my 500# barrel of AFS GFN 130 green diamond sand. I love it. But they sell it by the pallet, and I only need one bag... 😢

The great thing about lost foam casting is that you can use regular sand and don't have to use the green sand or oil bonded sand. You just pour the sand around the foam and leave the sprue sticking out a little and pour the melted aluminum and walah

The water level is to high, the roots get oxygen for the air, if they are totally submerged they won't grow fast . If you added a bubbler to the tank water that would provide better oxygen also.

What determines if a furnace needs a FAN to push AIR through the furnance? The size of the furnace, or the refractory inside of furnance?
@backyardmetalcasting
@backyardmetalcasting 2 жыл бұрын
No, it would depend on your burner design. A naturally aspirated burner uses the force of the gas (usually) to move the air in too and mix it for a good burn. There does need to be a good sized exit hole in the furnace so it doesn't have back pressure too. That being said, a small air supply can help a poorly designed burner burn better. 🔥

I unfortunately can not recommend this company based on the one I bought. The connection between the hose and the burner leaked enough that it ignited. Not a deal breaker as I’m accustomed to working with gas flames and potential problems. But when I tried to snug the connection it snapped off without any undue force. It has no way to grab the burner side and support it while tightening. Worse was when I tried going through customer service they stalled until I exceeded the return period and I never heard from them again.

@backyardmetalcasting
@backyardmetalcasting 2 жыл бұрын
Butane is hotter than propane? I would think it would be fine but I've never tried butane so use at your own risk. The burner doesn't get hot so the question would be if your furnace could handle it. I take the burner out of the furnace as soon as I turn it off to prevent the hot furnace from transferring heat to the burner. Where do you get butane?
