Trying out pewtercasting
« Reply #15 on: May 06, 2015, 09:19:38 PM »
Thanks for interest, support and help with "tradesecrets" everyone :) much appreciated!
I found the silicone I use at a german hobbysupplier but cant remember the name atm. Still cheaper to order from them and pay for shipping than getting same stuff in Sweden for some reason...

Yup, mould slipping was more noticable with each pour I did so the heatissue sounds very likely! I will also get some clamps as this time I only used some rubber bands ;)

Also started looking into building a spincaster. I have a lot of friends that do LARPS and there might be a small but decent market for coins, medallions and such stuff if I can get that done. But an actual build would be way off in the future. It's fun just to getting info and planning some projects. Actual completion is not necessarily a must for me ;)
