What It Does:
Budget Blend TM is a water bonded sand "Green Sand" for metal casting. This is the traditional molding sand that has been in use for thousands of years, and is still in use in most major foundries.

Molding: Dust the pattern and molding board with parting dust. Riddle in the sand over the pattern and ram using moderate force. Experience will help with knowing how hard to ram. If the sand isn't rammed hard enough it may drop out of the flask. If it is rammed too hard it can become less permeable and could cause surface defects by blocking the venting of gasses thru the sand.

Storage: Green sand should be stored in a tight container. 5 Gallon plastic pails work well. It can be stored in open containers if it is covered with a plastic sheet.

Estimating Volume: 100 Pounds of Budget Blend Pre-Mixed sand has a volume of approximately 2,200 cubic inches. 50 Pounds of Budget Blend Pre-Mixed sand has a volume of approximately 1,100 cubic inches. 25 Pounds of Budget Blend Pre-Mixed sand has a volume of approximately 550 cubic inches.
