Pewter casting is potentially very dangerous because of the high temperatures involved. Safety clothing similar to the type shown below must be worn and it is essential that all possible safety measures/precautions are taken. Pupils / students must be supervised directly during any casting. | ||

casting process. QUESTIONS: |
