    dd, I have been working in platinum for years. I can not even begin
    to estimate the number of one of a kind original waxes I have sent
    to different casting houses. I have seen an occasional failure. In
    most cases there was still a good enough casting to get a mold from
    afterwards. 

    I have also know people to offer casting services to the trade who
    have no right to call themselves professional. Anyone can attempt
    and often have success casting with a retro fitted Ney spin caster.
    But the best use the latest equipment and do it daily. 

    My suggestion would be to size the wax down a bit and send it to a
    professional platinum casting house. The guy I'm currently using is
    a Orchid member and top notch. I use him due to his quality, price
    and quick turn around time. He is Doug Perry at Pierret Designs. His
    number is (888) 653-8994
