I thought skipping the final sand blend was fine for simple jobs.

I used to rush through sand mixing on easy molds. A bad casting showed me that even quick jobs need good prep. Do you mix your sand fully every time?

Yeah, it's like @mark_nguyen95 said, you see it in all kinds of small steps people try to skip, and it always comes back around.

Make sure you mix it right every single time. I learned the hard way too, a simple mold failed from a streak of unmixed sand. Now I never skip the full blend, it's just not worth the risk.

How did you even see the streak?
