Daniel,

    I vulcanize pewter masters in the Gold Label or Pink Label rubber
    all the time with no problems. 

    I learned the process the hard way (thru experimentation) after
    someone gave me a master made of Sculpey clay, and it stuck like
    crazy in the RTV mold.  I thought the master was ruined, but then I
    had the idea to carefully pry it free from the RTV, glue it back
    together, and sandcast it in pewter.  Then, I re-detailed the pewter
    master, and held my breath while it went through the vulcanization
    process.  It worked beautifully. 

    Hope this helps!
