So the plaster castings might be good for how many liquid metal pours? And what type of metal will you be using?

10 to 15 pours per mold I am guessing. I was going to use aluminum A356 but I'm concerned about durability so I will be using Zinc Alloy 27. It is stronger and has a tensile strength of cast iron.
