You can find thin sheets of metal from hardware or an art supply.
I have cut up plate sheets from offset printing presses which some printers or
newspapers may give you.

for Marcia in Montana

when you pour multipiece molds, what do you use to separate the sections
when you're pouring? I've seen brass wedges used, or soft clay. it seems
to me the wedges would be more precise, but i'm not sure where to get them.
Any suggestions?
