TECH TIP
To Remove (De-Vest) Shellspen Ceramic Shell from newly cast Bronze:
 |
 |
|
|
“Shellspen Sean” De-Vesting Ceramic Shell from casting.
|
||
|
Place casting on wood surface or canvas filled sand bags. Hammer
pour cup and sprues, removing most Shell.
On larger pieces, carefully hit Ceramic Shell with hammer to
break and crack it. (To prevent denting, do not strike casting
directly.) Remove excess Shell using a star punch chisel. When
removing excess Shell between the sprues, take care not to
chisel away details of the Bronze casting itself.
Sandblast with a 20/30 mesh silica sandblast sand. If bronze surface is highly detailed, do not over-blast. For detailed pieces, you may need to sandblast again with 40 mesh silica sand
to remove Ceramic Shell caught in cracks and
crevices.
If a smooth, fine-finished surface is desired,
bead blast with glass bead as the final step. |
