SO hard to find experienced videos on this, thanks!

Hey, Jeanie. Thanks a lot for posting this video. Comments on the replica compared with the original at the beginning part. Again, the original one is much clear cut line and lacquer paint. But all of the principle of making badge just like what you showed in the video. Great and nice metalic material on your badge....................... Wish good sale.........................STF.............

Thanks for posting this, Jeanie. I second Stuart Arts question: What is the tumbling medium? Could you show a video showcasing the process you use? Thanks again!

Yeah....a 2nd or 3 mold, would make the pours go that much faster.....:)

There are these things called, "words"..., which work well, when spoken while making a video. lol! Oh well, I gave it a "like"" anyway.😁

Love that mold holder from harbor freight. Now I know what to do with mine! Thanks!

nice!

I've used the Mold max - great stuff! What is your tumbling medium?

A quick dusting with talc and then a quick slap together of the two mould halves to get rid of the excess talc often helps with this sort of work. Its not that the talc is some sort of lubricant its that the small amount left on the mould surfaces aides in getting the air out and you get a better reproduction of the mould surface.... Martin

Thats the problem I always have.. any small bits get an air bubble and dont form. Think I need to heat the mold too.

Cool

Great job! May you tell us what is the average weight by piece? I wonder how many castings you can get per one kg of pewter.

Whats the production life of one of these molds?

I didn't think 1 mold would last for more than 30 pours or so. wow really you got 450 pours out of it?? how was the last one compared to the 1st?

Whre did u buy melter like that?

Hi Jeanie, which metal did you use for tumbling pewter?

Excellent work, what metal do you use for this work?, thanks.

Google "pewter". (Alloy mostly consisting of 93-99% tin)

Any1 know wear you can purchase the moulds

Can you link your melting pot? And what brand of silicone do you use. I use smooth on right now

how did did you make the mold?

How much pewter did u use for this project?

Hi Jeanie! Amazing! I tried pewter casting from one-part molds and I'm getting crazy bubbling :(. Is there a trick to get it not to bubble or do I really need a two-part mold? Also, do you have a patreon where you teach/share stuff? I love your work.

are you talking about bubbling when you make a silicone mold? or when you cast the pewter into the mold? bubbles in silicone are normally caused by too vigorous stirring if its really bad then use a vacuum chamber before pouring into mold - if your getting bubbles in the pewter casts then this could be something to do with the silicone itself trapping moisture - ensure you use a high heat resistant silicone, apply a small amount of talc into the mold before pouring the pewter! hope this helps

Pewter. The safe cousin :)

Hey I hope someone can help. I made a similar 2 piece mold out of Mold Max 60 however each time I cast the completed pewter figurines keep coming out completely covered in bubbles.... Any ideas if this can be fixed or should I create the mold again????

Hey Adamson, maybe I can help, when casting in any format be it, lost wax casting, sand casting, and mold casting you need to have air vents, these are skinny lines dug out from the mold going out wards towards the edge of the mold with no vents when you pour the pewter, or any metal it traps air giving you the pitted look, the air is trying go make its way out and the only way is through the metal it self, so make vent in you mold also a little tip blacken the mold cavity with a candle to help air flow out and the casting release better. Hope this helps.

oh wow! I thought the air vents just ensured the pewter got around the mold I did not know it was for airing purposes. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
