D2016 |
Model
Metal (per 8 ounces weight).
We consider this our "best" metal because
of its low melting point (approximately 284° F),
its ability to capture detail and the high success
rate of pouring complete castings. It contains a large
amount of lead, making it heavy and bismuth to improve
the amount of fill. |
$9.00 |
D2017 |
Chess Metal (per 8 ounces weight).
This is our next best choice (melting point of approximately
360° F), its ability to capture excellent detail
and has a very good success rate for pouring complete
castings. Don't let the name fool you; it works great
in all types of molds. It is a lead based alloy, with
bismuth for fill and antimony as a flow improver. |
$7.00 |
D2018 |
Quad Metal (per
8 ounces weight).
This is our "mid-range" metal (melting point
of approximately 400° F). It captures very good
detail and acceptable results as to pouring complete
castings. It is a lead based alloy similar to Chess
Metal. |
$5.50 |
D2019 |
Cast Metal (per 8 ounces weight).
This is our most economical option (melting point
of approximately 485° F). It can be used in rubber
molds, but with a little less detail and it typically
requires patience to produce complete castings. It
is a lead based alloy with tin and antimony. |
$2.50 |
D2020 |
'Gold Star' metal (per 8 ounces
weight).
Gold Star metal is best if people are going to handle
your miniatures. Gold Star Metal is "lead free",
primarily an alloy of tin and zinc. It melts at about
450° F. |
$11.00 |
D2021 |
Pewter (per 8 ounces weight)
Pewter is "lead free" and is primarily tin.
It melts at about 550° F. |
$14.00 |
Our model metals are approximately
8 ounces (half pound) in weight.
One pound (16 ounces) will make in the range of:
10 to 12 - 54mm Figures
20 to 24 - 40mm Figures
35 to 40 - 25mm Figures
Warning: Some casting hobbyists
may be using tire weights and other unknown alloys.
You are risking damage to your molds because of the
higher melting point (pure lead melts at 620 F). You
will also find casting complete figures to be frustrating
rather than enjoyable. When you consider the time
wasted in producing partial or inferior castings,
the additional costs of the specialty metals will
more than pay for themselves. Dunken metals are made
from virgin metals to limit impurities and improve
casting. |
