What is glue cast?

Glue cast refers to a specific casting process where a material such as glue is used to create a mold and then cast a part or component. This process is commonly used in jewelry making and small-scale metal casting. The glue is melted and poured over a positive model or pattern and left to dry and harden. Once hardened, the glue mold is removed from the pattern and filled with molten metal to create the desired part or component. The glue is a low-cost and easy-to-find material, making it a popular choice for small-scale casting projects. The resulting casting may have a slightly rough surface texture due to the glue's limitations as a mold-making material, but this can be smoothed out with sanding or polishing.
