Newly Poured Copper Button

[firecajun9262]

Hello steemers, Today I have a new copper pour to show you. The pour i did this time was with my new round graphite mold.

I bought this mold last week for a cheap price. My guess is because of it's size. It came in with some other pouring supplies that i bought for pouring silver. Now that i have been pouring copper ingot bars for a while now, it's time for a change. I am still using my old melt dish to practice pouring these buttons.

Here's my results. I think i like the way it came out. Not to shabby for my first button. After pouring in this round mold it is definitely easier than the bar mold.

The back is a little wonky. I think i needed to heat the mold a little more at the bottom.

Now let's clean it up to get a better look.





If you liked this post. Please check out my Copper Rotten🌳Wood Pour post.. This cooper button is really nice once cleaned up. I was surprised at how much liquid metal fit into the small mold. Now i want to perfect these and try pouring some different size buttons. Hope you enjoyed another cool copper pouring post. I will be doing more post as i work thought the learning curve. Thanks for stopping by and viewing. I am a proud member of the #steemsilvergold and @ssg-community.

This is really cool. I could imagine this looking really cool after it's been cleaned up a little. Great job.

You are getting pretty good, soon you will be able to upgrade to silver! Still looks awesome in copper tho. Practice makes perfect. I think it's really cool that you are learning that skill.

Very nice pour I love how copper looks when cast I got a nice piece off Dixie for my son and it's got some mad texture and colour I love playing with it :-)

Cheap. lol One day maybe be worth my time in metal value. I'm usung this to practice on instead of wasting $$$ in silver. Thanks for joining my adventure. I have more too come.
