THE FLASK:

This listing is for the FLASK ONLY. 

Aluminium, interlocking casting rings with “lock and key” to ensure perfect alignment - every time. There are internal indentations to ensure the clay does not simply slide out when the filled flask is moved.

The tubular flasks are able to maintain their shape during the necessary heavy compaction of the sand / clay which is required when using the Delft technique with Petrobond / Delft style sand. Rectangular frames tend to distort (cast iron frames may even snap) under heavy loading causing the moulded sand to collapse during separation when removing the impressed pattern piece prior to pouring.

I use 3swg aluminium tube with a wall thickness of 1/4”. This gauge is sturdy enough for the flask to retain it’s integrity when the clay is hammered and yet thin enough to dissipate the heat generated by the casting process.

I can produce casting rings and interlocking flasks in virtually any diameter or length you require (as long as I can acquire the tube in raw form) - please message me with your requirements and I will list on eBay accordingly.

I am not a massive, faceless corporation - you will receive personal and dedicated service.

Terms applicable to all sales:

Any quoted sizes, colours, times, shapes and weights are approximate. Due to the nature of use of these items, no responsibility can be accepted for their use / misuse. Any suitability of the item is my opinion. Please ensure you have investigated and are satisfied with their suitability for your purpose before buying. All items are made to order and therefore not covered by the Distance Selling regulations except for any claims for damage or not as described.

I DO NOT sell the brand name "Delft" AT ALL - the products I sell are suitable for the Delft technique method of casting, but are not made by the company "Delft" nor in the region of "Delft" in the Netherlands - and I do not, have not and will not claim that they are.

The clay I sell has a finer grain and therefore reproduces finer detail than the brand name. It requires a very thorough packing and careful removal of the impressed object to ensure the mould edges do not crumble. There is no substitute for professional tuition although there are YouTube videos that should give reasonable pointers in the direction of producing castings.

If you are new to casting then please be patient and aware that it is a skill that requires practice, patience and learning from previous failures. Simply buying a casting kit doesn't mean you can produce technically perfect casts just as buying a cement mixer doesn't necessarily mean you can build a wall!

The Delft method is not always suitable for the items to be cast. Check out "lost-wax" or "simple impression casting".

The keyword box / title may contain reference to flask, clay, gold and silver (etc.) - just to be clear, you will only be getting what is described in the body of the listing.

All of the flasks are made to order by me on my non-CNC lathe. Each of the mating surfaces are trimmed down to a tolerance of 15/100ths mm of each other in diameter to ensure a perfect fit. Because each flask is hand crafted, it is unique. Swapping tops and bottoms between sets is unlikely to produce a satisfactory mating.

Within reason the flasks can be made to whatever specification you require - please let me know.

I do not draw any comparisons to the products sold by Cookson Gold

I want to make these distinctions because I want you to be entirely happy with the products you may buy from me.

If you want brand name products then PLEASE search for Cookson Gold's website and part with much more of your hard-earned cash!

Bulk orders of 25kg+ clay or 5+ qty flasks please contact me as I can usually offer some discounts.

The photo shows a casting flask that will resemble the one you get, but it is not to scale and there for reference only.
