I recommend you get ceramic powder used by investment casting outfits such
as jewelers. It mixes just like plaster of Paris but once cooked will
withstand brass, bronze, aluminum...

Could a person melt brass or bronze with a oxy welding torch in a
cruxible and pour it in a shallow, crude mold of plaster paris or some
other material? I've been reading about sand cast molds but it looks
like too much of a skill to learn for a small project. Thank you.
