I'm planning on doing some small casts of a metal object. Can the casting mold withstand the temperature of molten pewter 170&ndash;230 &deg;C (338&ndash;446 &deg;F)?

I really doubt it. The mold is silicone and probably won't take temps that high. I really don't know for sure though. I do know when the pour-able plastic "goes off" its gets uncomfortably hot, but not into those ranges. Sorry, I hope this helps.

I set mine between 700 and 800 Deg to pour my lead bullet cores. You are talking about clean lead ingots. This furnace is not for making the ingots, ie melting lead wheel weights or dirty lead.

I prime everything w/ acrylic undercoat. I can't imagine ur casting such large items that u can't do it by hand.

Yes, this Hot Pot 2 will melt pewter beautifully. It's the reason I purchased it and it's been a great investment.

Don't try. Ive used both and Both form with heat so even if they don't fuse there will be serious deformation bordering on pointless. Instant mold is great for epoxy putty(I use it for gunpla parts, duping custom Lego elements, replicating broken items(etc.)) and the occasional resin cast if its simple and low detail. Sorry for going off topic. I wouldn't recommend it.

I use this mold strictly for chocolate - sorry I am not able to answer your question.

I think the manufacturer of the mold should address this. I used the WILTON Candy Melts and you don't heat that very hot. When I make hard candy, the liquid is very hot and I would be very concerned the mold would melt.

Yes it will. the Hot pot reaches tempratures of 700+ deg F. Lead melts at around 600 deg F and Pewter melts at 400 deg F.

Hello, Thank you for your interest on our products. We have many types of these materials... If your materials required less then 1000 C then it is fully suitable to work with. You can find required firing temperature on each material in user instructions. Hope this information will be useful to you.With Regards. Technicalsupermarket

I have two connected together to decrease the time to withdraw the air to do resin casting but it can get below -30. So far for the price this will be your best buy that I can find.

I haven't actually tried melting metals with this torch but I would imagine thinner sections could possibly melt - particularly non ferrous metals. The torch will silver braze which means metal surfaces are getting hot enough to cause some melding of parent metal and the silver brazing alloy. It is such a useful torch and seems to get the work piece much hotter than any regular propane torch I've had in the past - cherry red is a great heat indicator when brazing and this torch will get exhaust studs up to cherry red very quickly. I would just buy one because it is such a useful tool for the workshop and very versatile! It is so handy to have at your disposal a heat source capable of undoing seized parts and general silver brazing. It is very well made too! I highly recomemend it..

if it requires 1100 degree solder this is not that high of a melting point it is usually 450-750 degrees as it has a small amount of tin in it. hope this will help...

NO, it won't get that hot, you need a forge for that. Lead has a much lower melting point.

I don't know. All I can tell you is that I could not get the disc to adhere to flat pewter. I tried differing levels of moistness and had no luck. Disappointed.

I use it to hold my hair to my curling iron. It can withstand 375 F for about 30 seconds. I wouldn't use it to solder.

I doubt it very much. I no longer have my instructions from the manufacturer. I would suggest going to their website and looking for specifications which may show temperature extremes that the mold can tolerate.

According to the response I received from a Lyman Service Technician it should withstand the melting point of Cast Iron which is Greater Than 2,000 Degrees F.
