Hi,
I have heard that casted items are difficult to engrave, The thing is that I will be casting plates for rear of phones and ipads and furthermore what makes it even more difficult to engrave is that those castings will be gold plated...
So my question is can anybody recommend that what is the best material for casting those plates so that I will not go wrong at least with the choice of material, I know the gold plating might give troubles with flaking, but I just want to test it out and see how it will work or fail.... many thanks for any input!
