[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 656131, member: 8767"] Does everyone forget about 'candle black' or soot from Acetylene burning from a torch ? Black the mold with soot from a burning candle as a release agent. Those videos showing potatoes being used for gold? They torch the life out of the potato starch to make charcoal. Then plonk the gold into the hole to cast a button, candle black will do it too. No opportunity to use cast iron for the mold ? That works well for lead casting and I am not sure why, maybe someone can tell me. Maybe a chunk from an engine block or old truck drum brakes. Just hold the mold upside down over the burning candle wick, easy peezy. [/QUOTE]
