How to get casting metal

[marvin]

Hey everybody,

I was just trying some metal casting this weekend, but my local shop only had one small packet of metal. So I was wondering if somebody knows a place online that sells casting metal? Thanks!

Not sure about The Netherlands but you could try Alec tiranti in the U.K, not really suitable for commercial casting as the metal is roughly twice the price per KG as buying direct from supplier. The metal you want is called KA- its tin rich and has good flow, ideal for drop casting, bit thin for machine spinning.

Thanks guys, I'll check those out. I can't seem to find a local shop selling these metals. I guess I'll have to pay for getting them shipped overseas :angry:
