• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

I watched that last night I’ve not tried making a core yet but have the sodium silicate. I’m thinking about looking for some flux/degasser tablets and fero silicon for this year.
 
Years ago when I was first getting into casting I visited the foundry in Delburne. One of the things I came away with was a pint jar of aluminum flux. It does make for a cleaner melt. As far as I could find out is that it is mostly potassium chloride aka low sodium salt.
