howdy

    just wondering if anybody has experience with casting jewellery
    (small) components in zinc or another type of base metal, other than
    pewter. I've used pewter before but find it too soft for what I'm
    planning so I thought as belt buckles are often done in zinc that
    might be the solution any thoughts, a friend brought up the
    possibility of people having an adverse skin reaction though it's
    likely I would get them plated as well so that doesn't matter that
    much. I'm also looking for a caster as well (preferably in canada)
    I'm doing a somewhat limited run 100 pieces to start this is for a
    charity series and I'm trying to keep the final price under $20
    retail 

thanks
