Welcome to opalholicsanonymous.com where opal season lasts forever.

I am finding some large thick ones, anyone tried this method? It looks simple.

Australian giant cuttlefish which is often half a meter in length (not including its tentacles) and weighs more than 10kg. What are you trying to catch?

I have not tried it yet. I don't have casting equipment.

Ah RR, youre pulling my leg!

KJ is looks very simple. All you do is get to cuttlefich or halves, make level, squish the object you want to replicate in it, make a few drain and air holes, clamp together and pour in the material.

The cuttlefish bone is all calcium, handles the heat. and gives a lovely pattern to finished object.

I have a feeling Rock and I were both thinking that the title 'cuttlefish for casting' was about casting a fishing line to fish for cuttlefish, since casting is what you do with a fishing line, and mick now lives on the shore, so I'm really glad you explained further, and at least we knew it wasn't like a casting call for cuttlefish to star in a movie. Nobody's making a flick called 'Finding Cuttlefish' or something like that, right? That's the problem with the English language since you can have so many different meanings for the same word.

I love the article you linked us to. It's just too bad the sublinks to the counter-blogs won't work for me, which is odd that it tells me it can't reach its own blog from its own blog.

Very cool mick, thanks so much for showing us about cuttlefish casting. Who knew?

Hahaha! seriously i thought you were fishin.

Did you give it a go Mick? It's one thing to cast it inside but oh boy .... stinky.

A blast from the past eh!
I'm doing really well these days. I'll find an appropriate thread to post in so I don't totally derail the topic which I will expand upon if mick is still interested in the info.
