Proven
Techniques: When casting use heavy sprues.
Sprue at the heaviest part of the wax so Platinum flows from
heaviest to thinnest part of piece being cast.
 Tips
from a successful Platinum Castor:
Link
does a lot of Platinum Casting and his advise is to finish waxes as
clean and smooth as possible to make clean-up efficient.
He relies on G&S Metals Platinum Casting Grain for successful
castings.
Mistakes
to Avoid:
Not
educating oneself on how to work the metal. Platinum has its own
characteristics and is very different than gold.
