be sure that you get the foam filters when buying ,
the old honeycomb is just straight holes in a piece of clay
they are much more difficult to use and doesnt have half the filtering effect of the real foam filters
there is an quality called "sic" , think it means silicone carbide .
they are for copper alloys
you can also use zirconia filters , but they are approximately 3 times as expensive
sorry but I dont know where to buy anything in usa , just call foseco and start asking questions , thats the best advice I can give about where to find them
or buy a container from china
they cost less then 8 cent each in china
how many 2"x2"x1/2" filters is it in a container
ok serious again
try foseco or any other company selling foundry products
in the video John posted here they did actually use the filters wrong, ok it will still filter the metal and remove slag and other impurities,
but the metal also have hughe posibilities to absorb hydrogen from the air when used as they did .
and I promise you that hydrogen bubbles in the casting is the last thing you want to have
maybe anyone of you remember a group who tried to cast their own full size mortar ,
I think it was some kind of re enacting group , dont remember where they was located .
think it was a link in some post here
their casting was full of bubbles , looked more like a spiders web then a homogen casting
but their problem I think was mold related
