Key Features
- K-BOND FORMULA, 400 MESH ULTRA-FINE SAND | Built on the 1995 Kent State University K-Bond recipe — organoclay binder with food-grade polyisobutylene oil. The ideal petrobond casting sand alternative, capturing sub-millimeter detail green sand cannot.
- OPEN AND USE — NO MIXING, NO MEASURING, NO WATER | Pre-mixed at the factory and shipped ready to pack. Knead by hand for 1–2 minutes to loosen shipping compaction, then ram into your flask and cast. Skip the messy water-mixing green sand requires.
- SUPERIOR CASTING CLAY ALTERNATIVE & SAND FOR CASTING JEWELRY | Outperforms delft clay for ring shanks, pendants, signets, and small silver casting work. Fine grain reproduces engravings and textures coarser casting clay for molds cannot capture.
- REUSABLE METAL CASTING SAND — 30+ CYCLES PER BAG | Unlike single-use molding sand, this reusable metal casting sand delivers dozens of cycles. When dry, add a few drops of synthetic non-detergent 2-cycle oil and re-knead. Sealed shelf life: 12 months.
- VERSATILE SAND FOR MAKING MOLDS WITH ANY PATTERN | Works with metal, wood, plaster, resin, and 3D-printed patterns. Use with two-part flasks, single-piece molds, or open-face castings. 6.5 lb fills a 4×4 inch flask twice — enough for dozens of small project molds.
- SAFETY SMELTING NOTE — DESIGNED FOR HOT MOLD POURING | The oil binder runs cleaner than mineral-oil sands when pouring into hot mold sand. Light smoke at smelting temperatures is normal — cast outdoors with strong ventilation. Wear N95 and eye protection.
- SEALED BAG WITH ILLUSTRATED MANUAL | Ships in a resealable bag with a printed quick-start guide covering setup, troubleshooting, reconditioning, and safety. Designed for aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, zinc, pewter, and tin. Not for iron or steel.
