justajesuschick Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Do I try 50/50, 60/40 or would you suggest other percentages?I am just getting a few pounds of it so want to have a place from which to start so I do not waste and have to start over.I'd appreciate any tips if you'd be willing to share!

jeanie353 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 You could start out with 25% 415 and see if the HT and longevity are acceptable. If you like that and the look, then maybe experiment to go a little higher if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks! I was thinking in the reverse so appreciate the suggestion.I am about to order and was debating between 2 or 3 lbs. I think I will start with 2 and if I am having fun and/or success, order a full 10 lbs.Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie353 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Uh Oh....I don't want to sway you from what you were thinking about doing. Maybe go with your instinct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justajesuschick Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 No. I was just thinking I might do much more of 415. ANY percentage I choose will be different from what I have been doing and that is really what I will be judging. If I am having fine results I will order more and play with percentages until I find the percentages I like best.You gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for-a starting point so thank you!

Spyhawk Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I do 25% 4625 and 75% 415,..9% FO load and I get great HT & CT.What temperature do you pour at and how is adhesion? Edited July 28, 2013 by Spyhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjdaines Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I use a 50/50 mix and I'm happy with the results. It I had to try another ratio, I use 70% 4625 and 30% 415, or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
