First Cast Triton

[CrimsonKeel]

I started casting a week ago and this was out of my second pot. First pen turned and I'm really happy with it. I know I have a lot to learn on casting but man its fun and hectic all wrapped in one. Also my first Triton and not my last.
Started life as this

Ended life as this.

Pretty darn good for just a week of casting. What kind of white are you using? If i may ask.

Well done looks great.

Whoa! Very nice. I've paid handsomely for many blanks that were less impressive than that.

Very nice! If you don't mind answering (if you do, I understand)
What type of material (triton ?)
Did you use vacuum pot?

If you can get more of the blue swirl throughout the blank, I would buy them!

Its a Triton and the blank is PR. Pressure pot at 60 psi.
I am working on getting the swirl farther down into the blank.

My personal opinion is it looks great just as it is. I like the graduated color transition. Good job!
