    Not being mechanically adept at drilling and tapping aluminum, I read about using a small tuft of 0000 steel wool in the sprue plate screw hole to keep it from loosening, I realy didn't think it would work. Too easy....but guess what, two different moulds and several casting sessions and the screws have not loosened! It works and doesn't require a drill, tap or skill to install.
