Christine,

    Is there a reason why you particularly want to use melted metal
    shavings? Metal clay works very well for this type of molding, and I
    think would carry far fewer problems. Not only can you get
    tremendous detail, you can adjust and alter the piece after its
    molded, but before it's fired. Metal clay can be fired with either a
    kiln (such as those used for glass work, or for flask burnout) or
    with a torch.
