    More info?

    Not sure how you found him.

    Do they sell in 50 pound quantities?

    How about shipping? Or is it pick up only.

    Any more information would be nice to have.

    More info

    I picked up 3 bags of oil bond sand and clay graphite crucible from them and you can walk in or they deliver through UPS or Dicom. Here's some contact info.

    To rich for me.

    I purchase it from the USA 50 pounds for $100. But they ship UPS and that cost another $100 and I felt totally ripped off. Athough the sand does a great job for my casting projects, UPS took any real profit margin out of the whole casting project. The issue with UPS is brokerage to clear an item across the Canadian boarder. USPS charges $8 but some USA vendors will not ship USPS. They state this is not their problem, well yes and no. If I can't break even doing a casting on small scale for someone then I have no demand and in turn I will not purchase sand and other materials. Others face the same issue here as well.
