Anyone try anything with this?

You know... I'll be doing a little bronze work for a friend in the next few weeks. I can easily add a mouth grill to the batch. But bronze DOES shrink slightly and the studio ones were a pot metal (all kinds of metals mixed) I think. I would need to make a rubber mold still which would cost a few bucks. Metal nowadays cost somehting like $20 a lb to raw cast... this includes the investment process, sandblast and cutting.

I can see a bronze cast mouth grill (based off of a studio grill) be around $50 a piece. If that doesn't scare anybody then I can go ahead with this...

Other option would be to ask if there is an alluminun pour. In that case a NEW mouth grill would have to made, molded and cast because alluminum shrinks a lot more than bronze and a larger master would accomodate for that.

I'm still interested in this

I have never had any experience molding and casting with metal. Having said that, I will be attempting to cast a part for my Delorean Time Machine soon. If that is successful, I may attempt the Cylon Mouth Grill. The Delorean part is a lot more complex to muld so I am thinking the mouth grill should be easy.

What are you going to cast. I did casting back in the 70's back in high school.

I clayed up my metal mouth today, will start pouring the mold tomorrow hopefully

Hey, that's cool! Pics?

One coat of rubber

Really exciting to see this.

I will be attempting to pour these in metal, its my first time doing this so don't get too excited

Any step in the forward direction with this is exciting to me. But I take your point.

How did your mold turn out?

Ran out of rubber It took more than i thought so i had to buy another 1kg . It also takes 24 hours to cure. The base is done, will pull it out tonite and prep for the other half of the mold to be poured

What type of metal will you be using to cast in it?

First half done just poured back of mold
