A thing of beauty

Wow! see what you mean Sean, it doesn't last long though and didn't make any noticeable difference to the pirks.

.

I Take it you notice that it made pouring easier?

Yeah a sort of flux effect, but with a sugar cube size piece added the effect only lasted long enough to pour two pirks and I had about 20lb of molten lead in the pan.

Warm the mould up ?

Tried opening up the joint with 0.006" shims and that made no difference either

Now thinking a bigger pouring hole might help.

If that fails I'm just gonna call it the fish scale effect

There are parts of the pirks that have a mirror like finish similar to that of the mould, they would be something to behold if they were like that all over.

Keith, Your beginning to sound like a shad moulder ...

Don't think it's that Bert, after 20lb of lead has gone through it I can barely handle it and it's still not right.

[KeithB]

I know Norm, it's becoming an obsession, shame I only got one bite of the cherry.

[Charlton]

warm the mold, melt less lead and get it hotter so you can poor quicker

[Davey1970]

keith m8, the mould need`s breather vent`s, and needs to be pre heated, wax is good and if you need more wire`s give me a shout, am not working but me m8`s are......
