As a metal, it becomes very strong once it has hardened, allowing you to create a lot of small, fine details in your castings, which will be strong and durable.

How to cast with pewter

You might think it must be hard to cast in pewter, given the hardness of it and other alloyed metals. This is not the case, however, because the great advantage of pewter compared to other metals is that it only needs to be heated to a temperature of a little over 230 degrees before melting.

That is a temperature you can easily reach on the hob in your kitchen, which is why everyone can to melt and cast pewter at home.

To make a pewter casting, you must start by making a mould, into which the molten metal will later be poured. For this, use the clay included in our pewter casting starter kit. Specifically, roll out a small piece of clay into a flat pancake about 2 cm thick, and you can now make a mould in the clay. You can do this by cutting out a template of the desired figure in wood, as this will make it easier to create a beautiful figure according to your wishes. Alternatively, you can also etch your figure directly into the clay.

Once your mould is in place, it’s time to melt your pewter. You need to use your melting spoon for this. It can be done on a normal stovetop by placing the melting spoon with a lump of pewter directly on the high heat. Once your pewter lump has melted, pour it into your mould and wait for it to harden.

When your pewter casting is cold and hard, you can take it out of the mould, and it is a good idea to sand away any unevenness and unwanted sharp edges with the tool you get in the pewter casting starter kit.
