Teton-Bond Petrobond Fine (130 Mesh) Foundry Metal Casting Sand For High Detail (5lb)

I tried this and the 190 Mesh Ultra-Fine. The 190 mesh gave my nothing but trouble. The 130 mesh worked flawlessly! Really sticky stuff, so have a towel handy. I’m new to casting, but had great results with this sand.

Excellent product especially if you're working with lower melting point metals. As described, the part you have to get rid of does turn black and pretty much entirely sticks to what you've poured. Didn't need a ton of effort to get the form to turn out. I will say, if you're doing a larger form that's flat, make sure you press the sand pretty well so you don't get any kind of, "pour" stuck in what you're casting. On my second try it worked exactly as advertised with the finish being pretty smooth. Only very minor sanding was required, and I do mean minor. This is a great product and I'd recommend it. If you haven't done any metal casting before you'll need to do a little trial and error to get it right (like I did) but the sand works.

Using this for large aluminum castings. A surprisingly large amount of the sand turns completely black, dry and powdery after each use. Maybe for smaller pieces (that cool off quicker) there wouldn't be as much degradation?

Highly Recommended

This sand is easy to work with and my silver pours come out amazing. If its not sticky enough, just mix in a dab of fresh motor oil until you get it where you like it. I save and re-use even the burnt sand with consistent results by finely grinding, sifting, and adding the motor oil. It lasts me almost two months, and I pour every day. The price is beyond great for how much and how long i can use it. Im a repeat buyer because of that.

Muy buena

Quality: Works great….scrap brass into…almost anything 👍👍 Functionality: Easy to use…

I used this to cast aluminum and it was way more detailed than I thought it would come out. I'll end up buying this again and it was well worth it.

I'll get a little finer next time, but was as described and arrived quick

As the owner of Devil n Dove, I am thrilled with the Teton-Bond Petrobond Fine Foundry Metal Casting Sand. This 130 mesh sand is perfect for achieving high detail in our casting projects. We use it regularly to create intricate jewelry pieces and small metal parts, and the results are always impressive. The 5lb pack provides just the right amount for our needs, and the sand's fine texture ensures excellent detail and smooth surfaces. If you need top-quality casting sand for detailed work, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommend for any jeweler or metalworker!

It cost less than my nearby supply and it is better quality I was skeptical about it but it captures the mould well

very happy with it have made a couple of castings with it and worked great
