Teton-Black (180 MESH) Foundry Green Sand Olivine Super-Fine Facing Sand for Metal Casting (10LB)

Exactly as advertised. Packs and holds form well. Cleans up and easily reusable after a pour. Doesn't take much to put a little moisture back in and get ready for next use.

So dry that it barely held shape. Not sure if they forgot to add oil or what but, this is basically dry sand. Would never purchase again!

Nice product. Quick delivery. Product as described. Read instructions for product for proper use and to understand how to use. Delivered quicker than expected.

Was not smooth sand . It had to be sifted and that was a pain

This sand gives good detail, and maybe as a beginner I don't know everything, but the sand doesn't seem to stick to itself as much as well as I see some youtubers' sand. Also all the warnings make me kinda nervous tbh but i assume it's fine as long as I'm not breathing it in? For beginners, i recommend getting less high mesh because this is very prone to air getting trapped because it can't easily diffuse through the sand when it's packed. Higher mesh means less air gaps... I may try sand bonded by oil instead of water and see how that goes too... Of course, I didn't know the pros/cons when I bought it because I was just starting and that's probably my fault getting such high mesh, I was thinking "great, it'll give me such good detail". Good castings are definitely possible and require some cleanup for making them shiny, but just saying that if you're gonna cast big parts I would go with lower mesh because this is really meant for small, detailed objects
