Hi all,

I bought some greensand from Artisan Foundry but I can't seem to create a mould. I use talcum powder to help the two halves separate but it never comes apart cleanly like I've seen in demonstrations and any attempt to remove the part causes the sand to crumble.

When I do the squeeze test it it tends to hold it's shape but it doesn't snap cleanly. Is my sand too wet? Or dry? Or some unholy mixture of the two?
Any other advice you can give to a novice caster would be gratefully received as well.
