I thought this might be of interest to some of my fellow Canadians, I just found out that Princess Auto sells ITC products https://www.princessauto.com/en/itc-100ht-ceramic-coating/product/PA0008927550
Hey, not only ITC-100, looks like HarboUr Freight also has some crucibles and other casting stuff too. No petrobond in the Ottawa locations right now but it's listed on the website going for the low price of a hundred bucks... for 5kg of sand. Jeff
And there's 2 in stock at the one closest to me! Right now unfortunately, I'm trying not too accumulate more stuff as I'm moving next month.
Exactly! Foundry Supply Source recently quoted me $155/25kg and is right around the corner from you Rocco... What would you even do with 5kg of sand?! Jeff
I'm with you on the sand, I can't imagine ever paying $99 for a measly 5kg of sand, however $19.99 for an A4 crucible is a definite maybe.
Where are you moving to Rocco? If you have to pass by Ottawa en route, save room on your truck for a pallet of sand from Milton for me , I've been emailing back and forth with a guy from the new supplier for almost a month trying to set up a shipment... Jeff
I finally got my "sample" of vg-plus/Bentone. To get any delivery in Canada I need to order a skid. 35 bags at $160/50lb bag...unless I can confirm 3o or so orders, I don't really need a skid... open to any ideas...did you have any luck Jeff?
Here in Brandon, Manitoba area, a well service place sells Bentonite to seal wTer wells. Hope this helps Bob
Bentonite isn't quite the same thing as Bentone, a brand name for an organoclay binder that can be used to make oil bonded molding sand. But you could probably make some nice water based greensand with it. Jeff
