So I'm pretty new to casting. It isn't something that I'd ever considered doing until I picked up some equipment really cheap the other day. But the more research I do the more interested i'm getting in casting. This is the first of what will hopefully not be too many questions.

Do most people buy an ingot mold? Or could I use something else like a cupcake baking tray or something. Money is tight hence part of the reason that i'm getting into casting so if i can avoid buying an ingot mold for now that would be great.

Thanks
