Bob:

    Most responces to my question have been the same - bi-metal
    casting. I've never tried that and I will next time however, I'm
    stuck here as I have already cast the piece and am fitting the
    inlays.  Rex of OZ has a very interesting idea which I'm going to
    try.  It looks very clever and, with some clarification, will
    fill my need nicely. BTW...How do you polish platinum? I've been
    using a 240 emery on a flat stick and one grade of fairly fast
    cutting platinum polish - seems like to old tripoli we used to
    use years ago on gold. 

Thanks very much;

Steve
