Hi guys ,
some youtube video to share with my last home lost foam casting ( very simple models).

Re: Backyard lost foam aluminium casting
I've heard of people using a thin layer of wallboard joint compound to coat their foam models prior to casting, but I've never tried it myself. Make sure to let it dry out thoroughly before pouring the hot metal on the foam.
