This is a lead free casting pewter that produces a bright silver colour. It is suitable for giftware, goblets and the like. Great for finer jewellery like rings and delicate buckles. Must be used with a high heat silicone such as M4670 or M4470. Casting range: 275°C - 330°C.
Directions:
Heat metal in a temperature controlled cooker or pot on the stove until JA6 becomes a liquid, do not over heat the alloy. Pre-dust silicone molds with Graphite. Pre-heat molds to 120C (read silicone technical data sheet) or recycle first cast until desired surface finish is reached. Once cooled JA6 can be polished to a high-quality finish.
Sealers must be applied to avoid oxidation. Various sealers are used from automotive wax to a lacquered base paint. Pre-test any paints for adhesion prior to production.
