In this tutorial we explain the use of dry fillers to add weight to resin casts. For these casts we used low-cost ArtKast resin mixed with Play Sand. The Play Sand reduces cost and adds weight to the finished cast.

The look of sand in a casting is pretty cool.

@BigAlNaAlba Год назад

Excellent, would love to see more about casting with fillers including the two stage filler casting that you mentioned in this video.

@bitymoldsupply Год назад

I have a follow up video that will be posted soon.

I would kinda worry about oven baking plaster turning it back into straight lime and burning myself

@be7th Год назад

Would it be easier to mix the filler with part A before adding part B to give more time to a delicate pour?

@bitymoldsupply Год назад

You can mix fillers with part B first, but that makes mixing more difficult. Mixing with part A can contaminate the A if there is any moisture. Mixing A+B first insures that your components are properly mixed. Once sand, or any dense filler, is added it is much harder to mix.

@karolinakiwicreations5738 Год назад

Can you add the filler to part A or B BEFORE the mixing to make sure you don;t exceed the work time?

@bitymoldsupply Год назад

See my comment about that in the follow up video.

@AQUARIUMFREAK123 3 месяца назад

dont do it that way, it will make stiring the 2 parts much more challenging.

@knessing7681 Год назад

you should've told us the weight of each of the casts. from the sound of it when you're knocking those pieces on the table, they still sound pretty light, is there actually significant heft to the pieces?

@bitymoldsupply Год назад

I should have done that. They are a lot heavier. I will be doing a follow up video soon. The other thing I didn't show was the strength of these casts. They were much stronger than I expected.

@knessing7681 Год назад

@@bitymoldsupply Do you think this type of casting would hold up to heat, mixing the sand filler with one of your heat resistant resin ... I was thinking something along of a seal stamp for hot wax.

That beard really, really wants to come back. lol

@bitymoldsupply Год назад

It sure does! I have had a beard for almost every day of the last 20 years. My children are confused and frightened (like small woodland creatures) when I shave!

@AQUARIUMFREAK123 3 месяца назад

are any of your resins AQUARIUM SAFE ?

@bitymoldsupply 3 месяца назад

Yes. ArtKast Pourable is used in aquariums.

Hey JT!! Thanks for the printer!!! You have given me a lot of homework and new direction in my casting life!!

@@bitymoldsupply You are most welcome.. Make something cool... Then show me how you made it ;)

@JT99JT Год назад

@@bitymoldsupply I cant take full credit though. It was supposed to be an old one. But one of my larger printers did not have everything in thr box. So they let me get one of the smaller ones too in the cusyomer service.
