This is the second part of the video I published 10 months prior to this one. "Melt Metals in the Microwave | The Ultimate Guide" was the first video. Originally, it was supposed to be one video, but in the end, I split it into two parts. In the video, I show alternative ways to get into metal casting. I demonstrate how to make microwave kilns and how to use them to burn out moulds for Lost Wax, Lost Resin, or Lost PLA projects. I also demonstrate how it's possible to use flask-less moulds together with an ordinary vacuum cleaner to achieve great metal casts.
