342 Bronze Casting Alloy
Purpose
342 Bronze Casting Alloy is a bright yellow bronze designed to cast jewellery samples, models, art objects, etc.
It finishes to a bright 14K colour and easily solders with silver or low-gold formulas.

Flask Temperature
A high flask temperature for light and medium weight pieces is recommended.
649° - 704° C / 1200°- 1300°F.
Fluxing
Boracic acid

Avoid flux in bottom pour automatic casting units.

15 - 20 minutes.
