Silver Casting Grain

[Mcgrimes]

I’ve been threatening to get back into casting for a while - I’ve done some sand casting and silver jewellery making a while ago.

 

My question is; where are people buying casting grain these days? Seems the cheapest thing to do at the minute is to simply melt down some Britannia’s or large silver bars from Bairds

I have seen a video posted about A wonder sea of Silver yesterday by BYB may answer some of your questions.

Haha, very aptly timed - that video was waiting in my subscription list!

Betts in the UK, Rio Grande in the US and maybe the UK depending on their shipping charges.

I'm not sure about prices at the moment. It's probably expensive. Not a good time to buy retail physical silver.

I have 21.43 oz of melted down Phillies 999 in my kiln advert... I can't seem to tag you in if you're interested

I also have 7 Canadian Superman 1ounce with milk spotting.
