Excuse me not pot but the thing u used to melt your metal how much is that?

[eiremobster]

@Ydouneed2nomyname do you mean the ladle? Well its part of all starter kits, but you can get it separately if needbe. Price is 5.45 Euro.

Its available on our homepage, use the top menu. Choose 'Accessories' then 'Tools'.

How much is that little melting pot. All I see on the Internet are these big melting pots for $100-600. I'm only casting miniatures no more than 54mm and on a usual basis 28mm so I don't see why I'd need a big pot. Do you know where I can buy a small one for a reasonable price?

@Ydouneed2nomyname Any cooker can melt our metal. If you have a flame rather than a hob then use an old frying pan or baking tray to create a hot surface.

A little hotplate is very cheap if you don't want to use your kitchen cooker. We sell ours for 30 Euro. we should have it back in stock in October.

How good is this for making slugs to go in vending machines and payphones?

[eiremobster]

@cobrachoppergirl Unless they take toy soldiers we make as currency then not good. While custom moulds are possible if you have a master figure, we do not manufacture any mould that could cause problems with the law.

@cobrachoppergirl why would yo want slugs? just tie a coin to a piece of thread and pull the coin back XD

@cobrachoppergirl even if you made a mold of a coin the casting would be lighter using tin ,it wouldnt be heavy enough

@eiremobster I have a few questions: What kind of rubber molds are those, and how can I make my own? What kind of metal metal melter is that, and how can I get one?
