annealing times
I'm presently doing a fair amount of open face casting. Large salmon that I've scheduled at 2.5 inches. They run 1.5" to 2" thick at the thickest part to 1/4 inch at the thinnest, 24" long X 6" tall. This is very successful. I've noticed that the Bullseye pyramids, although 6&quo...

Re: Copper and ferric chloride
The copper I'm using is 'shim' copper. It can be cut with jewelery shears

I've been casting plates to a thickness of 1 inch with an inclusion of thin copper cut outs that have been etched with ferric chloride.

lamellar ground silica

I've a Potter friend who had a bag of Novacite 550 silica that he got for glazing back in the last century (1990's) I've been playing with the idea of using this very fine silica with my plaster for the face coat in my casting forms with the hope of...
