INVESTMENT CRACKS Inadequate planning is the main cause of investment failures. This can happen if you use tap water, the mixing period is too lengthy, the water-to-powder ratio is wrong, or the investment has expired. RECOMMENDATION: Always use distilled water, and use a scale to measure out the necessary amounts of water and investment before beginning the operation by the supplier's recommendations.
Casting
In jewelry casting, accuracy and focus on detail are necessary to produce products that are reliable and of excellent quality. One crucial step that shouldn't be overlooked is combining investment powder with water. Jewelry casters can make sure that their investments provide dependable and predictable outcomes by utilizing deionized water, exact measuring techniques, following suggested mixing durations and avoiding needless chemicals like borax.
Jewelry casting performance depends on an understanding of the stages of investment strength. Green strength, or the strength of the investment before it enters the furnace, and burned strength, or the strength attained after the furnace process, are the two stages an investment powder goes through.
