Very nice results, do you use moulding plaster or wall plaster?Nice collection you have going, new subscriber here from England 🇬🇧 great video 👍

[@TreasureIslandCasting]

Hi there. It was just regular plaster. Kind regards to England and thank you for subscribing!

[@walkthroughmania1]

Those turned out great. Lost wax gives wonderful results. Thank you.

[@glennsmartlowit9125]

WOW!!!! Do you make stuff on KZbin channel??? Or this one of last videos??? You probably don't sell your stuff???

[@ralphmourik]

This is something I want to try too 😁Came out great! 👍

[@TreasureIslandCasting]

Thank you very much. A link to the silicone mold is in the discription. I´m looking forward to see this project on your channel. Kind regards from Treasure Island

[@HeinrichsMade]

I don't know how I missed this post..... what kind of plaster was that? also since you preheated the mold, why was it bubbling when you poured it? I think the mold plaster still had moisture in it.

[@TreasureIslandCasting]

It was normal plaster. Maybe there was still some moisture in the plaster, which is pretty dangerous. Kind regards.

[@farouqchiznie8740]

How do you mix the plaster?

[@michaelmueller9635]

What is the mold made of? 3d-printed? I'm just asking because of the filament and heat resistance ...and the hot wax. I'm a little bit struggling there for my own project, because I wanna use hard wax with melting point around 105 degree celsius. And this doesn't match with a lot of filaments for 3d printing.

This is fantastic. I have wanted to try lost wax but I don’t have an oven. Your way is fantastic. Question if I may. How did you set up the foundary for this, the heat and how long. This would be a great video !! Thank you !!!!

[@TreasureIslandCasting]

I waited until the foundry has cooled down to about200degrees Celsius, then I inserted the mould with the wax inside, to melt out the wax. this takes only some minutes. After the wax is out of the mould, I dried the mould in a normal oven at about 200 degrees Celsius for several hours until there is 0% moisture inside the plaster. Kind regards from Treasure Island!

Schöne Arbeit! Die Beulen in den Augenhöhlen stammen vermutlich von Luftblasen, die sich beim Gipsguss da verfangen haben.

[@TreasureIslandCasting]

Vielen Dank! Ich denke auch das es Luftblasen beim Gipsguss waren.

[@SabreCycles]

You are getting steam pockets. This is from damp mold and not heating it up to about 200F for a few hours before use. You can see this by the vibrating molted metal.
