Did my first experiment with casting today, all went pretty good until I decided to set a corner of my mold into the pot to try and maintain temp. First time was ok, second time I guess it wasn't closed all the way. So now I have lead stuck down in the cracks where the notch to align the blocks is. I've scraped out all I can with improvised wooden tools since it's aluminum, but the mold still won't shut completely. Any suggestions for an easy way to clean this out?
