the foam is burned away when aluminium is poored into the mold

no i used bindolzand (rode kneedbare zand / red sticky sand)
from http://www.hazelaar.nl 25kilo = 44 euro
a petrobond sand mold. ?
wasted my motor gloves because off extreme heat

i do not understand the price i payed for the scrap aluminium
on the londen metal exchange LME
the price is 2700 usdollar per 1000 kilo
2.7 dollar per kilo
2.7 U.S. dollars = 1.82679296 Euros
1.82 euro * 22 kilo = 40.18euro and i paid 25 euro
could get sleeping rich if i where a scrap metal dealer
An average aluminium can (without its contents)
weighed 16.55 grams in 1992.
By 2005 the aluminium can weighed about 14.7 grams.
thats 68 / 69 cans in a kilo
aluminium can price is 1.5 usd a kilo or 1500usd per ton
so this skull is aprox 345 cans
Aluminium has a melting point of 660°C
compared with 1540°C for iron
If all the aluminium cans sold in the UK were recycled for cash it would raise more than £30 million for collectors.
Setting up an aluminium can recycling scheme is a great way to raise funds for a charity or good cause without having to ask for donations.

Does the foam burn …
Does the foam burn away cleanly leaving a good clean casting? Or are there pieces of foam residue left that would need to be patched or repaired with something such as liquid steel. I would like to try something such as this but it has been over 50 years since my last playing with metal casting and I did not use foam way back then. Thanks

The reason for the …
The reason for the price differential is that the price per ton for PURE CLEAN ALUMINUM INGOT and the price for dirty scrap aluminum ALLOY with gas impurities and zinc, tin, etc..etc.. is obviously going to be much different. Thanks for the vid though, pretty neat!

In your video it looks like you made the mold/cast sand yourself
could / would you maybe desribe in more detail how to make it
is it little water with cement and fine sand?
i treid a simple gips test mold but the water did bubble steam the aluminium
the special red sticky sand is nice but expensive
i saw you mix i think water with portland cement powder
