For more than 40 years, AJM has earned its reputation as the Authority on Jewelry Manufacturing, and this book shows why. The AJM Guide to Lost-Wax Casting offers an abundance of best practices, handy tips, and troubleshooting techniques from the industry's leading experts. From creating trouble-free master models to building uniform trees, to proper techniques for investing, burnout, and breakout, this book presents how to achieve consistently smooth, porosity-free castings. Also included are guides to stone-in-place casting, casting over 500 grams of platinum on one tree, and casting nickel-free white golds. An essential resource.

Casting defects should not be the accepted norm. One errant task, contaminent or faulty product may cause repeated failures and hours of clean up. Consistent failures can be tranformed into consistent success. Trouble shoot with the AJM Casting Guide.
