more work than it's worth, because not only would you have to=
make all the molds and whatnot, but you'd have to machine the=
core precisely and then suspend it in the mold somehow before=
pouring the resin. The presence of the core might also=
complicate the pour. And the while the metal casting =
process is more expensive, casting pewter would end up easier in=
the long run, and would result in a superior=
part.</FONT><br></div>
