Lost Wax Casting

This tumbler must sit for about 1 minute before being plunged into room temperature water. The raw charm will be inside the goopy, wet investment.

Though the casting process has finished, you still need to clean up the cast item. The button needs to be sawed off, the charm filed, a jump ring added, and then you can polish it.
