    I'm a sculptor casting unique bronze sculpture and would like to
    cast some small work using the Japanese alloy Shibu-ichi. Would you
    have any information on it's quality for casting and any
    peculiarities involved in casting it? I will be casting 5 to 10 oz.
    pieces and some will require silver brazing. I have concerns as to
    whether there will be some reticulation problems with this alloy.
    What can I expect regarding surface color and how  will it take the
    patina?  How will the end result differ in color and nuance from
    using regular bronze alloy? 

    Most importantly, could you give me an idea of the pour temperature? 

    Thanks for any help you can give me with these questions.
