So heres my update, I found out that I'm going to have mold issues regardless, so I'm going to try and return the detailing onto the two sides that I removed it from. I need much larger flasks in order to cast these, and annoyingly because of that I'll only be able to make one at a time, even though I was hoping to be able to do two. I may have the first ones produced this weekend, but it may get moved to next weekend.

I've been hunting for proper cookware for a while, but its really hard to find, as all of the good stuff is hand made and mostly sourced directly to fancy restaurants. I'm going to try casting some solid copper pans, plating them thickly with silver, and using that bronze alloy that I posted pictures of previously for the handle. When I was creating that alloy, it was originally for the purpose of pan handles, as its thermal conductivity should be quite low.

Good cookware is thick copper lined with tin, the steel clad stuff is garbage. Tin melts at 450 degrees which can be pretty problematic for cooking. So, I figured silver is food safe, wont melt over a hot fire, and hopefully will make the ultimate lining material.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been kind of bouncing all over the place trying everything at once. So I've got the production plan down, I just need to build a new kiln now. Going to convert an old electric oven into a spooky 2,000 degree oven. After that I can move ahead as planned.

Heres one of the things I was doing instead of making statues.
