    Hi All, Great forum!! Well I'm a newbie to the list as well as metal
    casting. I mainly been doing sci-fi sculpture for resin models but,
    been wanting to get into jewelry sculpting/casting for a while. I'm
    now in the process of buying all the things I need to get started.
    Since I've never really casted metal before and don't have much
    knowledge at all on the process, I figured this would be a great
    place to ask my beginners questions.. I bought a vacuum cast machine
    and I will be using perforated flasks to cast. What my question is,
    What would you all suggest for good injection wax and investment
    products for vacuum casting that would give the best results? I know
    it's one of those questions that will get a mixed response since
    everyone has thier favorites. But I figured it would give me a good
    idea of what to look for. Also could you suggest a good mailorder
    website to pick up the wax and investment? At this point I feel like
    I'm stumbling in the dark. But hey, You got to start somewhere.
    Thanks for any help you all can provide.~~~John Guenther
