Abstract

A method of making a shell mould, particularly for a lost wax casting operation, includes the deposition of an adhesion agent on the pattern before the deposition of layers of ceramic material to build up the mould. The adhesion agent used is preferably a 3% solution of aminosilane in a solvent consisting of ethanol and ethyl acetate in amounts from 25% to 75% of the solvent. The method avoids the phenomenon of detachment at the pattern/ceramic interface.
