Bronze and Brass for casting
Hi Everyone I am looking for Bronze and or Brass for casting.
Also looking for material for milling. In the past I used Butter Board to cut and mold, Alumilike to make plastic injection molds from Model Master. Also looking for 1/2"x 2 1/2 in aluminium. So far suppliers in Montreal want me to buy 12'.
I have a sample of froggy board which I will be trying shortly.
Any suggestions

Hey Ev,
Have you tried MetalSupermarkets? There's one in Ottawa I think (For AL bar). My local supplier also wants me to buy either 10,12,20 or 24-footers...and the amount they charge to cut it and weigh the amount I need is so pricey that I usually just take the whole stick and find a use for it eventually.

Original BB is OK, but in my experience I found it to have porosity issues from batch to batch. Precision Board in the higher densities (20#+) is very nice. PB has come a LONG way from previous offerings (sub-20# densities - although Duna is my favorite for sign foam) BB (according to BB) is about 40# density.
Do you have a link for a supplier of Alumilike? Sounds like an interesting material! Hope the links help you.
