OVERVIEW
Teton Supply Co Teton-Bond 190 is an ultra-fine Petrobond* clay based foundry sand intended for demanding applications such as jewelry, precision mechanical components, and ornamental castings. Teton-Bond 190 is professionally formulated, produced, and quality inspected in the USA from US-sourced ingredients. This sand is also olivine-based which provides an improved safety profile and performance charactaristics compared to (cheaper) silica-based products. We feel that the 190 mesh composition gives the optimal balance of permeability and mold detail reproduction for even the most demanding uses.
APPLICATION NOTES
-This product has much in common with Delft clay in terms of usability and appropriate techniques.
-Sand near the pattern should be meticiously riddled (broken up).
-Moderately heavy ramming or pressing is suggested for best results.
-Parting and pattern compound should be used. A high-performance parting compound such as Teton-Part or similar is recommended.
APPLICATION NOTES
-This sand, like all properly-formulated petrobond-based sand is cold sensitive. This means it will become dry and/or powdery if exposed to cold during shipping and storage.
-If dry, sand may be easily regenerated by using a small amount of rubbing alcohol or heating. Adding oil is generally not recommended except for in extreme cases or where sand must be used in non-ideal temperature conditions (less than 65F).
-This sand is reusable with the exception of a small amount of grey crispy sand that forms around the casting. Note that only the grey section of the sand need be discarded--the black section can be safely reused. It is normal for a Teton-Bond pile to darken with use.

I know this stuff is the expensive stuff , the diy’ers all say so.. but damn it, I wanted my first casting to be puss…nope… can’t get a good cast to save my life.. every time I try to make a mold it chunks off little bits and I get frustrated as heck… it’s probably user error but damn, I get the principle point, but have had 0 luck?

Needs to be compacted HEAVILY. With slush worse than other finenesses, must be careful and very slow with mold creation

This is a quite small package, much smaller than I expected. It works very well, though. Keeps it's shape, etc. I guess I will have to buy a couple more bags to get the amount that I expected.

Made a nice ring, first time using this and trying such. Worked good and the stuff does in fact capture detail well.

First time using this type of product. As I am new to using this type of product and casting metals, I don't have experience with other brands. However, my project went very well, and I found this easy to use. I had some fine detail work to bring out on a military challenge coin, and the final product was very satisfactory.

Ordered 48lbs of the 190 good good for large detail casting. Expensive asf but worth it. Does lose it's bond over time but that's expected for petrobond sand. Reconditioning it is part of the process especially when doing larger casts and high temperatures. 30w oil doesn't take much to rejuvenate.

This sand is what you really want for details. All my old petrobond were kind of coarse. I wanted my castings to look more finished. Finer sand really makes a difference in your resulting casting. Of course, your end result really depends on thee quality of your pattern, and packing the sand well. Some of the patterns I used are 3d prints, and the detail of the casting clearly showed all the thin layer lines. It's exactly what the pattern looked like, and that's what you really want. Obviously, if you don't want the layer lines, you have to prepare the pattern better. That's another topic entirely though.Fine detail sand. Use it. You'll like it.
