    Ok this is my first post here since I just joined yesterday.  I
    think I found my dream forum with all you experienced jewelers. 
    Hopefully you won't get my membership pulled because I ask too many
    questions. 

    I haven't been doing this long but I am really enjoying myself and
    it gives me alot of relaxation to sit down and make jewelry.  I've
    dabbled into most phases of it and have done some Lost Wax Casting
    in Silver.  I would like to start doing some in 10K and 14K Gold. 
    Heres my problem. 

    Would it be better to buy the casting grain already in 10K and 14K
    form?  Or would it be better to buy 24K and the alloys and make my
    own?  And is there any special method to mixing the alloys and the
    Gold? Lord I hope this doesn't make me sound stupid. LOL.  I could
    really use some advice here. 

Best Regards
Dale Carr
