Aluminum Pour Workshops
Scratch tile workshops are also available in aluminum. In this workshop, you will use the same techniques as in our iron workshop. We can offer this workshop at a lower price because aluminum is easier to melt and less expensive to acquire.
After scratching the design into your sand mold, it is placed around a smaller furnace. The furnace is fired up and the aluminum is melted at a temperature of 1200 degrees. Due to the lower melting point, we can pour aluminum more frequently than iron. These tiles cool faster as well. Your completed piece is ready approximately an hour after it is poured.
8" x 8" standard square tile is $45
5" x 5" shape to choose from: square, circle, star, heart, or Michigan is $35
