May have to make a plaster slump form instead of a plastic plate Could you use the plastic plate to make a form in Sculpty and cast the plate in that? 4 – Integrated Hibachi - Success. Holds a can of Sterno, the platter doesn't get too hot. I used a stainless steel shower strainer for the grill, when I do another Pupu Platter, I would like to try lost foam casting for a custom brass grill or a steel one cut with a CNC Plasma Cutter. How about casting a grill in ceramic? Then you could continue the pattern of the plate onto the glaze of the grill.
