    I had no luck casting palladium white in my electro melt or with
    vacume casting I had to use my centrifigal and a torch. I also got
    losts of little holes in the casting even with a torch the castings
    finished up nice after burnishing. I liked how white they were but
    other than that the stuff is a pain and it is expensive, It is a
    little softer but not much.
