[Bryn-gwlad] Brass or bronze casting help?

[Jay Cross]

I've done some brass casting. I wasn't very happy with the results. What I
finally settled on as a solution was to make a multi-part plaster mould, and
then give it to a professional casting company. They were able to make
brass, bronze, silver, or gold copies of my image as needed, for not much
money (OK, the gold was a lot of money). I think that they made a wax copy
and used their own process.

I needed to clean it up after the casting process with fine grit steel wool.
