In this first part of the lost wax foundry process, a dollar store balloon has a silicon mold made, wax duplicate created, sprued, ceramic shell coated, lost wax burnout and then finally cast in bronze metal. This is the first half in a two part series; next the Balloon gets sandblasted, de-sprued, welded back together, mirror polished and painted. • • ----------- • 0:00 Mold Flange • 2:10 Silicon Rubber Mold • 4:04 Mother Mold • 5:22 Demolding • 5:45 Pouring Wax Copy • 7:14 Wax Chasing and Finishing • 9:41 Spruing/Gating • 10:55 Ceramic Coat Dipping • 13:41 Prepare Ceramic for Burnout • 14:21 Moving Ceramic to Burnout Furnace • 14:46 Pouring Molten Bronze • 15:59 Ceramic Shell Breakout • 16:33 Completed Bronze Casting
