Topic Subject : Re: Re: Cold Casting Metal costs...

hi, calculate your price very very carefully with nickel silver it is very expensive,I find coldcasting in resin takes less powder then i gypsum/forton. I like it better in forton because i can easier touch up if there is little flaws.( write down the formula!!! for when you need to make a little to touch up) gosh i think i almost use about 4 lb per torso (pregnant).One tip if you can buy larger quantities because the price per lb goes down quite a bit.
You probably allready know that. It is great to have a large comission but i would practise a bit. I had to throw away once a full pregnant torso with silver in it. Well actually i did use it to practise patina on it but you are getting what i am say.
