Dear All
Does anyone know what the properties of the sand used in casting
pigs in a 19thC ironworks would have been? Was there a preferred
grain size or shape? I am not looking for information on casting
sands used for casting actual artefacts, but for casting pigs for
conversion to wrought iron
Thanks
Tim
