Re: Casting - Lost wax

Try http://www.lindsaybks.com/ for various books on casting. There are several listed on the web site, but nothing specifically about lost wax casting. Seems to me there was one in a recent print catalog that you can order for free from the web site. Casey Sterbenz >From: "Terry Griner" <[
