Back in the day we just eyeballed the mold wash, but a bad pour in Toledo changed my whole setup.

We ran the same batch of 356 alloy for six months, then switched to a new supplier's ingots. The porosity in our castings went from almost zero to a constant 3% scrap rate in two weeks.

Pro tip: I thought that new ceramic foam filter for aluminum was just a gimmick.

Our furnace refractory lining used to fail every eight months, but switching to a new high-alumina mix from a supplier in Toledo has it holding strong for over two years now.
