Hi I am wanting to carve jewellery from wax and get it cast in bulk by a company in the uk.
I make silver jewellery already but want to get in to lost wax casting as a way to expand my business. ...

Anyone know where the best place to buy a centrifugal casting machine is in the uk? Or if not, in the USA?

Ah thanks all! Will give it a try :)

Thanks for the advice all. Denis, can you tell me more about waxing? What kind of wax? And how is it used? Thanks

Anyone know?

Hi, I want to buy some Midas black max oxidizing solution but the Rio website donÂ’t ship to the uk. Is there anywhere in the uk that stocks it?
I use platinol at the moment but want something...

Yes, the radial disks :)
I got yellow, blue and green. That's great then, will just use them till they wear down!

Got my disks and am enjoying using them. Any idea how long they last before I have to change them?

Thank you!

After about an hour it was nice and shiny but up close looks kinda pitted...

I will take a look, thank you!

I have a ring mandrel for forming rings on but I want a stick to check their size.
There are so many different ones I don't know which to choose. I want one that's about £10-£20.

That's good to know! Thanks!

Thanks so much, problem solved!

I want it to make cuff bracelets... I suppose if I specified 6mm wide pieces of sheet that might work?

Thanks for all the info. What exactly is Argentium?
