    I have done this a number of times, and the only problem was that
    the caster was a little put off when he realized that his price
    quote to me, based on the weight of the original, was wrong because
    the original was light for its volume. I didn't mind that he had to
    adjust the price, but I think it embarassed him to have to come back
    to me about it. So tell your caster clearly up front that the
    original is PMC!
