Hi Mark,

    I had read a vague description of this process a little while back. Since
    magnesium burns really hot and violently, I assume you don't just invest
    and burn out.  Do you make a vulcanized or RTV mold then? Followed by
    injecting wax and then traditional lost wax methods?

    You referred to a 1mm sheet.  Seems a little thin to me.  Do you affix this
    to some other substrate?  I can't quite visualize this from your
    description... I'd like to hear more.
