I would suggest working with increased heat and getting 1-2% tin into the alloy after making sure that the mold cavities are well cleaned. I would use a good solvent like acetone to make sure that any hydrocarbon based substance is thoroughly removed from the cavities and the mold block faces. Making sure that the melt is fluxed and well cleaned also helps. Molds should be pre-heated prior to casting and a number of casts are necessary to get things up to speed. LLS
