Hot VS Cold Casting

I go over the advantages and disadvantages on Hot (Pewter) and Cold (resin) casting. You can get the mold making materials, resin, and metal powder from: www.smooth-on.com/
Go to the Smooth-On website for more detail on how to make molds and use the products mentioned below.


The materials needed for HOT casting are:
______________________
-Pewter (multiple types, mains are leaded and lead-free)
-Mold Max 60 (To make the mold)
-Heat source (To melt pewter)
-Steel ladle/crucible (Hold molten pewter)
-Popsicle sticks (Test temp of molten pewter)
-Small steel spoon (Remove slag)


The materials needed for COLD casting are:
______________________

-Metal powder (Mix with Smooth Cast 325 part B)
-Smooth Cast 325 (Resin to pour)
-OOMOO 30 (To make the mold)
-Small plastic measuring cups (I use plastic shot glasses)
-Popsicle sticks (Mix everything together)
-Latex or vinyl gloves
