Do you have a mold and want to produce castings? Or do you need to make a mold and then make your castings? LMK, I can help you out.

How's a 'bout sharing that info with the rest of us? I would love to hear/learn more about molding and casting.

I'm trying my hand at molding and casting small parts right now. Mostly my own sculpts. Once I get the hang of it, I'd be glad to post some pics and a write up.
