Three Fire Ant Colony Casting Session, Part 3: Fiery but Mostly Peaceful Colony Casting (Cast #119)

Part three of the three fire ant colony aluminum casting session. You may notice in some of the other videos, dirt is piled over the colony. This helps to prevent the aluminum from bursting through the side of the colony. You may have also noticed that this wasn’t done for the last few casts and they turned out alright. Well, it finally happened on this cast; the aluminum burst through the hill at 00:30. Luckily, it didn’t mess up the cast overall and I only missed a small portion of the above ground mound. The spilled aluminum started a small fire but no worries, there’s always a water hose close by when casting and the fire was promptly extinguished.
