specializes in brass and bronze
refinery items such as slags,
skimmings, grindings, etc. Our
warehouse is at 323 S. Cesar
Chavez Blvd., Houston, TX 77011.
The office phone is 281-328-6329.
We pay competative prices for all
foundry materials. If we can

Thanks,
Richard T. Coleman Jr., P.E.
President
SHELLSPEN SUSPENSION SYSTEM
is a non-settling ceramic shell
slurry when mixed with base supplies.
It is used for coating wax sculpture
and pattern forms of every size in
the Lost-Wax Ceramic Shell Bronze
Casting process. Because it is
non-settling, there is absolutely
no need to keep timed mechanical
mixers running continuously with
our SHELLSPEN SUSPENSION SYSTEM!
