Working with Silver
I have a request for 20 Silver bullets in .45 caliber. I don't think I
can or should cast them directly in my Aluminum molds. So, I thought of doing them with the lost wax method. I can cast the wax in my molds but what to use as a mold release? I do have a graphite spray mold release to try. I do have some casting wax left over from my Silversmith days. Unfortunately, I do not have a centrifugal casting machine so I'll try the wet rag method. Any better ideas? I did quote $30 each so it's worth the trouble. I should get better than two bullets to the ounce of silver. I do have a couple of pounds of fine and a couple pounds of Sterling. I wonder which I should use? I don't know if it makes a difference to Werewolves, does it? |
