My son wanted to do a lost foam pour so he made up a nameplate like the one I did for work. He cut the letters out of foam and the plate. Glued them together with a hot glue gun and glued a sprue and riser on. Used too much glue but didn't seem to hurt anything. I thought I had a before picture of the pattern but I guess not.
He packed it in almost dry green sand. I put a cup on the sprue to help him pour. Then it erupted out of the riser. I'm glad I had the metal try down, I want to fill it with sand for pours.
