It also depends on the weight if its below 7.78 grams it can be marked 925 or 999 by yourself, You still can have it hallmarked below 7.78 grams and as above it would be marked as sterling.

The shop in Stockport closed down a while back now, there Facebook page says they have retired https://www.facebook.com/ManchesterMinerals/
I use propane and an oxygen generator in my torch. But I melt metal electrically. Personally I would buy the grain already alloyed if you are not familiar with making it gets very expensive quickly....

I think its nicer to solder than silver. it doesn't eat the heat up as much. if you only need a small amount wire will probs work out cheaper. well maybe more expensive but cheaper to buy a smaller...
They came out really well !
If you are just reshaping, its ok to work with. its like platinum ish, If you need to resize I would be careful taking the job on if you are not sure. Also don't beat it so much as it will need...
that looks great nice job
Alumi-UV Resin is a great way to finish it. you can use a cheap nail curing light to set it as long as the wave length matches
I personally always found out it works out a bit more expensive when you add import tax if applicable and the money the courier company charges for 'processing'. But Ive not ordered from the states...
Hope you feel better soon
I had the Sylvia Wicks one in my head too Dennis

it works out just over a tenner

You could scan it ,make a replica lug from that and then print and cast it then laser it on. Gold is very mailable there's a good chance you can reshape and burnish the damage out I think that may be...
You could possibly cut the lug off, make a new one and laser it on. I would still take it apart to do.then refinish the case. The metal would be more than your first figure I would imagine.
The first one looks a bit high I think it should be room temp but i could be reading it wrong
I think that investment is something like this for a 3"x 3" flask
room temp to 230 for 1.5 hours ...
Are you casting the wax and resin together ? I know its the obvious one and I'm sure you have thought of it but have you changed anything to make it change in the last month ? It looks to me light...
I have seen this too, and thought I want to try it maybe its stainless steel I'm not sure. I think stainless would have more chemical resistance than aluminum ?
ah ok, maybe try searching Petrobond or Oil Bonded Metal Casting Sand ?
Amazon maybe? ...
If its only 6 I would cut them from sheet. I have not seen than design before sorry
https://www.scribd.com/document/345172156/An-Introduction-to-Platinum maybe this is it ? not sure how genuine the site is so I've not downloaded it
SteveLAO worked at London assay office if memory serves so maybe see if it can be downloaded from there ?
I see what you mean I think the jeweller applies the mark too so no testing of quality, I wonder if you could argue that its sold where the server is located (if you sell online) just an idea.
