Hi Have you tried to cast silver or similar on silicon rubber mould? I am curious to know if it work. Thanks

@kayzen76 No, I haven't had reason to try this.

where did you get the cuttlefish bone stuff?

[myfordboy]

@TheFinalformsora From a pet shop. Budgies like to gnaw them. If you live near the sea they can be found washed up on the beach.
