They sealed the inside of the cases really well, and the outside was protected in silver paint

Sandcast is gravity casting, cant see why Hond would have dies made and not pressure feed them

Where’s Richard? - given that he’s been casting stuff for longer than I’ve been on this planet?

Sandcast is single use sand moulds made around a pattern in usually 2 or more pieces and is smashed open after use to remove the component. Gravity die cast uses permanent or semi permanent dies that have the advantage of being able to tilt to aid the metal flow. Completely different processes, with the exception that the dies can sometimes contain a sand core.

I've always found this bloke's smug, self satisfied, self promoting magazine articles intensely annoying...... I had no idea he produced videos that are even more irritating........thanks for that  >:(
