Very good work. I look forward to trying your method of this. Other than heating your graphite molds before pouring, do you have to do anything to them before using them for the first time? Thanks!

[@HeinrichsMade]

Thanks! I can't wait for you to try this method. As far as the graphite molds. I personally don't do anything but preheat them on the furnace before every use.

What happens if you don't warm up the tongs?

[@HeinrichsMade]

I do that so there isn't a shock to the crucible. Going from extremely hot to cold might fracture it and cause chaos.

Você passa qual material no modelo

[@HeinrichsMade]

The model is made of Polystyrene XPS Foam

[@marciomila9264]

@@HeinrichsMade passa gesso no modelo. Tô fazendo não dá serto fica falha

[@HeinrichsMade]

​​@@marciomila9264 the foam is the model. I coated it with thinned out drywall plaster. It does work I do it all the time. Try doing it with just foam. You don't need the drywall plaster. It only helps the surface finish.
