Nu Cast
Gives old scrap
gold new luster. Used during the melting process when casting to revitalize
old scrap yellow gold. There's no flux needed and it helps eliminate
porosity due to oxidation. One bottle makes 2 oz, which will cast
approximately 800 dwt. of gold. |
|
|
Re-Cast-It
Add Re-Cast-It when casting old or scrap gold to achieve a
bright yellow, porosity free casting. Increases fluidity of old metal,
while eliminating reddish surface discoloration. One jar casts
approximately 800 dwt. of gold. |
