Pewter casting

[jeckyjil]

I'm trying to cast small pewter medallians with detail similar to a state seal; an image with lettering around. I've tried rtv molds but they provide no detail, maybe a gas venting problem? Also tried sand mold which was a bit more successful but left a grainey texture and some detail loss.
I have no high temp facilities at this time so I'm limited to low temp alloys.
Any suggestions or comments on how to accomplish this project?
Thanks,

I think this might be the wrong forum?

Unfortunately...I have no idea! Any one else?

pewter metal? Power metal?

I have no idea what the link is! Unless the OP is wanting to make a PQ logo medallion?

These low temp melters are cast commercialy in Silicon rubber molds using a centrifugal method. See Cast Tin for some of the supplies and equipment for this.

My pewter casting brings all the boys to the yard.
They're like "It's better than yours"
Damn right it's better than yours.
I could teach you,
But I'd have to charge.

I think we should all have sex with both of them to see if they're the same people.
