Instructions

This recipe makes a full set of pellets from size 4 through 12. or 4.5 through 12.5 If you want to cast selected sizes, reduce the recipe proportionally to the number of pellets you want to cast. You can pour the pellets to the top of the mold for wide rings or halfway for thin rings to save even more.

Put into a 1-cup glass jar:

– 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons water

– 1/4 cup + 1 teaspoon investment powder

Stir until smooth and creamy (about 1 minute). If you find lumps, mash them with the back of a spoon.

The mass should pour well like a thick soup.

Pour into the cavities. Leave the mold undisturbed until hard, at least 30 minutes. The actual time required for the investment to stiffen depends on the humidity in your environment during pouring. If the humidity is low, you can de-mold the mold in 25 minutes. If If the humidity is very high, it can take up to 40 minutes for the investment to cure.

Do not pour unused or used invesment down your drain. The particles are heavy and will stick to pipes and result in a concrete-like sediment that will lead to clogging. Instead, wipe your newly used mixing cup with a damp paper towel and place it in a trash can, or rinse your mixing tool outside.
