Dear Helen,

    There are two casters that have contacted me wihtin the past year to
    offer there services to artists. I have no experience with either
    but am pleased to pass there names along. And yes, for the other
    questions, titanium should be cast in a high 

    vacuum. It actually can burn like magnesium in open atmospheres. And
    no, you won't light a piece of sheet medal on fire with your torch.
    And yes, you can take a pile of titanium fillings out in the back
    yard (ventilation) and light them with your torch. It will look a bit
    like a sparkler. They use Ti fillings in some fireworks for this
    same effect. Bill
