    I have a customer who has asked me to cast small hardware in nickel
    silver. He restores antique furniture. The cast will be lost wax. I
    have some. (old flat ware). I have never cast this material. If you
    can share advice on it's casting properties I will be very
    interested. 

    If you would suggest a different metal that would also be
    interesting. (by the way he intends to silver plate it after
    polishing) 

    Thanks for you help.

Franklin
