i havent had any time to try it out yet, ill do it soonish though and ill probly post some pics up of how it goes. i think degassing the melt wont be a problem, i have propper flux and stuff and that SHOULD remove and stop gas getting into the melt

if you do get some sand, try and get some petrobond, ive never tryed using it but ive seen things made in it and they come out alot smoother than with greensand

for me there wouldnt be any problems at all casting an aluminium or silver block (except that i have no silver lol) just that copper is hard to cast.
