Bubbles
| Possible Fault Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
|
Bad vacuum |
Change oil in vacuum pump. Pump should be serviced on a regular basis. |
|
Dust on waxes or trees |
Ensure once waxes or wax trees are made, they are stored in a dry, clean and dust-free atmosphere. Do NOT store waxes or trees in the same room that you weigh powder or invest in. |
|
Rough waxes |
Ensure excessive talc or release agent is not used, as this will produce rough waxes and therefore rough castings. |
|
Under or over worked |
Follow the recommended mixing instructions. |
|
Not vacuuming flasks after pouring |
Ensure flasks are vacuumed for 1 minute after being poured. |
