I love bismuth! It is so beautiful and it's crystal structure is so unique and beautiful! It is a uniquely different metal and as you said, one that everybody should play with at some time! Lol! I whole heartedly agree! Thanks Theo, and I hope you are feeling better now. Food poisoning is not fun and will leave you drained and devoid of energy! So I hope you are feeling well soon!

I absolutely love bismuth. I bought a couple crystals from you a couple of years ago. This would be so fun to work with. I so love the work you do.

If I knew more about chemistry I would understand this more. But this was just so fun to watch. Interesting and beautiful

Bismuth is so cool on so many levels & really enjoyed all your trials and searches for good creations. I've often wanted to take a compressor/vacuum used for resin treatment (and also air conditioning lines) with a heat source rigged up.. Just curious as to what the Crystals would look like with the absence of oxygen. The down side would be you couldn't touch or mess with it inside. Great episode Theo

dude this wa exceptionally insightful.Although pouring the bismuth into a fresh plaster mold wasnt a great idea due to the moisture in the mold, i think it is extremely helpful for new metal casters to see what happens, the bubbly popy stuff is way more dangerous when its hotter metal pours like bronze, this helps avoid accidents. thanks man , keep making cool stuff!

Hey thanks for the Tips ! You're a legend . I tried Casting with Bismuth for the first time yesterday in an enclosed heated CNC engraved Graphite mould I have previously used for Brass. I had the Idea slow cooling would produce Rainbow annealing but perhaps it wasn't slow enough. I'll certainly try just torch heating it . Yes as you realised Its good to Bake your moulds to reduce trapped water when using plaster or clay moulds ..🙂.the spitting can be bad !
