Thread: Foundry supplies around Perth?

Darce,

Why don't you just ring a small foundry like Eccles in Bayswater (9370 5955) and ask them who their sand supplier is?

Bob.

Unfortunately they, or any other of the foundries I've tried, no longer use greensand and I don't have the werewithal to use resin bonded sands. It's starting to look like I may have to use beach sand

Darce,

I know nothing about sand casting and you've undoubtedly seen this but if not ...

Making Green Sand

Hi Darce,

See if you can find some Petrobond, much better than making your own.

I bought mine from CMS in Melb, they got bought out since the last lot I bought, but I see they have a listing for Perth

If you **really** want to make you own green sand, be sure to get foundry grade bentonite and of course you have to build a muller.. tricky to get good results.

Petrobond gives a great finish.

Ray

PS.. I thought you guy's over there had more sand than the rest of Australia combined...
