Rubber Sterling Silver Ring

Pouring Molten Silver into Silicone Mold Rubber

http://www.diycastings.com A question I'm asked often, "can silver, bronze, or gold be poured into a rubber mold"? It was about a 90% successful casting but the mold was destroyed permanently! The fumes also were awful so I strongly suggest not trying this without a great ventilation system. http://www.diycastings.com/

Simple Lost Wax Casting - High School metal shop

Update: I plan on making a new video this year to show the progression of our work. Better success rate and better looking final products. Coming soon! --------- We used merlin gold (fake gold) during this cast so don't freak out at the wasted gold you see! This is by no means a professional demo of how to do this. There are plenty of other videos out there showing that. This is not something I specialize in but just do it for fun. A lot of material is wasted during this process since I do this with teenagers and old equipment but they have fun learning and trying out new stuff. I made this video for kids that needed a quick reminder or missed the demo that day in the shop.
