Sand-Cast Aluminium Part

Diamond Door Handle Mould

sanded sides to a 5 degreee angle for ease of removal from sand cast.

Sanded smoothed and sealed with PVA and water mixture, dry, and repeat until smooth. The smoother the mould is, the easier to remover and more likely it is to be succesful.

Aluminium poured and part removed.

Succesful on the bottom face.

Top face not moulded correctly. Possibly because of tto much moisture in the sand preventing the aluminium from filling the mould.

Excess aluminium removed with hack saw to be recycled.

Too remove to layer with ease, I have drilled many holes along the top face with a 6mm drillbit.

To remove final excess and shape I am going to file off.
