PMC Supplies LLC 10 Lb Petrobond Casting Sand Gold Silver Copper Jewelry Clay Alternative

Exactly as I expected it to be

This was my second purchase from these folks and they've always done right by me. The weight is always spot on and shipping was fast. This brand works better than other brands I've tried and way way better than homemade green sand. If you need high detail in your castings then this is where it's at. Works very well for all metals . It packs down rock hard with little effort and hold it's shape very well while still allowing gasses from metals, foam, wax and PLA vapors to escape. Greensand just doesn't perform near as well. I just sieved this 10lb batch in with my previous 10lbs I bought over a year ago. After about 50 uses I add 10 drops per 10lbs of any weight motor oil, mineral oil, hydraulic fluid or baby oil to rejuvenate it. All casting sands are a Little pricey in my opinion, but you get what you pay for and I'm extremely happy with this brand and so are customers. I will never switch back to any other kind and I will be buying more as needed. Thanks again!

Sand works great but I will say to learn what you are doing first. Im having issues with the clay falling into the mold but that is a me issue not packing the sand enough. Expensive for sand but when it is used right it is a good quality casting.

Shipped fast and received in good packaging and as expected.

Utilized this 190 mesh Petrobond sand for my first fully enclosed sand casting. Followed all the proper sand compacting techniques and used foot powder for separation purposes. It just worked. No big clumps that were not manageable. No large grains. No sifting needed. This is a zinc alloy. For smaller castings the 10lb bag will last a long time.
