Default Lost wax castings
Hi all. I have just purchased the Panart kit HMY. Royal Caroline, and it looks good. I have to say "looks" because I have found that a kit does not show its faults until one really starts on it!
A question. Some of the lost wax castings of the embellishments are made in "delta green bronze alloy" which are handmade and described as "valuable". Can anyone enlighten me as to what this material is as I have never heard of it. Does it require any special treatment; glues etc? Nothing in the instructions to help.
Many thanks for any advice. Jonathan.

Probably no special care necessary.

Ed. Many thanks. I have not heard of this alloy. Even at my age! One sill learns. Good luck. Jonathan.
