I finally stopped fighting the green sand on our old Hunter 20 and let it get a little drier.

For years I was adding water right up to the squeeze test, thinking it needed to be that wet to hold shape. A core from a bad pour last week showed me the steam pockets. Now I mix it just until it barely holds together in my fist. Anyone else run into this with older, reclaimed sand?

It's funny how often the fix for a problem is just doing less, not more.

@kelly.daniel that's a solid point. Can you give a real example where you've seen this work? Like, was it cutting out extra steps in a work process or just stopping a habit that made things worse?
