Re: Aluminum Flask
Those look really good, thats on my next project list is to cast up some flasks my wood ones I made work well but are really too small for what im doing and would rather have a quality part like the ones you made.

Re: Remelting 356
I went ahead and bought some pure 356 casting material price per pound was not bad and to be honest my time is limited and when scraping I feel It's time lost casting its just not worth it to me.
