Cat Litter Recommendation

[CHARLES lipscombeParticipant @charleslipscombe16059]

S.O.D. is quite right, dung is very satisfactory as a binder. I once saw an archeology program where they were reproducing bronze age axe heads using mold materials of mixed horsehair, sand and ……sheep dung

use the crystal type and some caustic soda to cook up some water glass. then use that with sand to do the casting.

there is plenty on the web about sodium silicate made from cat litter to do casting.

You really need cow poop, cat poop has completely the wrong consistency, if you roll some between your hands you will see what I mean, this is best done at arms length.

I had planned to use fresh cat litter. Used litter from Toms is pretty rank even if there are no solids.

I have used cow muck as a plasticiser when repairing cob in my parent's farm house. Also in making gullys in the bottom of inspection pits for the sewers in that house. Cat muck – No. Just no.

Regards

Richard.

There was a Jeynes Corner article in ME in the '60s explaining the use of manure for cores for, I think, cast iron pipes.
