Talk:Molding sand

Merger with Green sand
I think the two article should be merged, they cover, more or less, the same topic. I don't think I've heard sand called molding sand but I have heard casting sand. Iepeulas 13:01, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have merged the Green Sand into the molding sand category as green sand is a type of molding sand and there isn't enough info to justify two articles.Iepeulas (talk) 00:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

See also the parallel discussions at Talk:Green sand (casting). The merged content history is now in the page history of Green sand (casting). – wbm1058 (talk) 14:38, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Different pages for each sand type
I think each type of sand should be listed as a different article and in the molding sand page there may be a little bit info in general about molding sand basics and links to various types of it. Pushkraj.janwadkar (talk) 10:17, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Right now there just isn't enough information to warrant separate articles. That's why green sand was merged into this article awhile ago (as you can see in the section above). If, at some point there is enough info to warrant separate articles, it can then be split off. In the mean time I suggest you just create individual sections for each type within this article.
