Just learned the hard way that compacting sand too tightly can ruin a casting
I keep over-packing my molds, any tips for a lighter touch?

I ruined three molds before getting the pressure right. Try using a softer tamper or just your fingertips?

Watch how often we push too hard before learning the right touch. It happens with everything from crafts to conversations. Why do we go to force instead of finesse?

Yeah it's like we think force is the only tool in the box. I totally get what @lilya76 means about ruining stuff before finding the soft touch. It's a hard habit to break but so worth it.
