Hi Gene,
I'm just back from a few days away, so I have only just read all the
subsequent posts. In addition to choosing the correct alloy, there is
a lot of careful observation and judgement needed in the casting
process. I have been told by a retired white metal expert that you
need to be doing the job nearly every day to guarantee a good result.
So, pick a workshop that does lots of them, and make sure that their
expert has not just retired leaving the apprentice to learn by
experience.
Best,
Roger
