Lost Wax Casting Question. If I am only casting 1 or 2 rings at a time, do I need a vacuum or centrifigul?
Q. machine? Could a strong magnet placed in the casting mold have a similar effect?

A. If it is a fairly open mold, maybe it will fill by gravity, but if you want a good, consistent fill, it must be centrifugal or vacuum. I don't think the cost of a small one would be prohibitive, maybe you could find one on EBay.

A. The most important thing to do is express interest in their company. Try to have a little background info about them as well, that shows them you had enough interest to do a little research. Also try to have about 2 or 3 questions about them. But don't mention money. use short to the point answers, don't pontificate. Be positive, interviewers really respond to that, it shows what kind of attitude you will bring to the position they are interviewing for. If they ask about previous work experience or why you left a previous job don';t tell them you hated it there, say something like you were ready to look for a new challenge or something that will put a positive spin on it, don't bad mouth previous employers,that's bad juju no matter how… [cont.]

Can I cast a small concrete part in a plastic mold? Should I use a release agent?
Q. Ok, here's the thing, I am going to make a vacuum forming machine to make plastic molds. Can I fill the plastic mold that I make with concrete to make say, a small ornament? Will I need a release agent? If so, what kind of release agent?

A. I have made small ornaments out of Portland cement, using candy molds. No release agent needed. After it's fully dry it should release pretty well. After i take things from the mold, I wrap them in a wet towel for 3 days to make it even stronger. .
