I have some knife bolsters I'd like to cast in Sterling. Is this stuff an epoxy? Where have you seen it? Thanks John

I am a diamond dealer and it is used to make a mold of any item it is more a stiff rubber then you would make your waxes then cast them in plaster with a sprue to pour your metal only after you burn out the wax in a kiln. after that if centerfugal casting equipment is not available or vacume the casted item can be slung around in a circle quickly like the trick where water stays in a bucket slining it around this fills the crevices and removes bubbles to enhance details.
jewelers wax/plaster/torch to melt or electro melt pretty much you can cast
