    I think you'd get a cleaner casting if you heated the mold before pouring the metal. From what I've seen from others, lost wax casting is usually extremely clean, but they always heat their molds before use.

    I don’t know if you are aware of this trick or not.
    But get a dowel about 3 inches in circumference and about 12 inches long and taper from about 5 inches to one end.
    This will secure the ring by a friction hold and keep your hands safely away from the polishing wheel and grinding and sanding.

    Cool video ...you can use silicon to make multiple copies out of the originals wax rings when it needed also recommend to make cavity into the skeleton wax then cover the hole after casting .to save copper investment of it and gives the skeleton statue heavier ...is it gypsum mold you used to cover the wax forms ?
