Sand made of crocum [ferri]

You can use the mixture made of crocum ferri to cast silver or gold, this mixture will make these casts firm, and prevent these from cracking and making burrs. And I believe that for flat things, it would withstand severa casts. Which however is not commonly done for gold and silver.

Try crocum ferri for lead and tin.
