The mold removal solution is a liquid that permeates the mold material and effervesces while inside the mold material, causing fracturing of the frangible investment material mold, and carrying away the resulting mold particles. The investment material compositions have the property of sufficiently decreasing in strength after cooling to facilitate the removal of the mold material by the removal solution. Two particular investment material compositions that possesses these properties are describe which contains powdered silica quartz, beta-hemi-hydrate calcium sulfate (gypsum), a hardening agent of potassium sulfate, and water.
