Wouldn't it be easier to carve them in wax. Cast masters in brass and use
them? Karl "Roy boy" wrote in message ... I am looking for someone that can carve in preferably brass 2 to 4 inch men for a master for loss wax casting. Roy |

I looked for someone that could do it in wax but it was suggested to have
them made in metal. "Karl Vorwerk" wrote in message ... Wouldn't it be easier to carve them in wax. Cast masters in brass and use them? Karl "Roy boy" wrote in message ... I am looking for someone that can carve in preferably brass 2 to 4 inch men for a master for loss wax casting. Roy |

Roy I think that's what Karl was getting at. Carve it out of wax, pour one, clean it up very good and then you can use that as a master for the wax molds. Or were you talking about making a brass mold??? X |
