    I have a small one man jewery store. I have been doing repairs and
    settings for years. I am interested in making gold caps (removable
    caps).  Currently I have been taking molds of customers teeth and
    sending them out to be made. This is proving to be a nightmare
    because the company that I am using is unreliable. I just purchased a
    complete casting system from Rio Grande. I would like to learn how to
    make the caps myself. I am sure the trick is in making the wax
    models. What type of wax? What additional equiptment do I need? Any
    information would be helpful. I found a sight on the internet that
    offered a weekend course and a DVD all for $1,500, but they turned
    out to be scam. After I agreed to take the course with them and I
    made my plane reservation to fly down to Georgia, they called me a
    week later and told me the class would cost $8,000!  Thanks
