foam aluminium skull halloween
from a light foam skull to a 5 kilo aluminium skull
lost foam casting
For God’s Sake not a Damien Hirst diamond skull

first time i melted and made a mold and first cast i ever made
neighbour whas sitting on the roof
waiting for things to go wrong
laughed when my leather motorgloves shrinked 5 sizes and cought fire
by the immense heat off the molten alluminium
laughed when a black smoke arised when i poored in the molten alluminium (foam burnout)
but he whas impressed by the result off this first skull

foam skull i used
5x foam skull + shipping to holland = 100 Euro

another cheaper

or search for “realistic foam skull” from F.I.T.C.O.

the foam is burned away when aluminium is poored into the mold
think i used brusselse aarde
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
and wasted the chickens water pan

next 2 videos inspired me

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.
