Is anyone making H&G style sprue plates to fit other molds? Thicker and grooved I think is better.

Everybody grab a shovel, we got a swamp to drain.
I don't know if anyone sells them as aftermarket parts but it's not uncommon to modify them that way.
Warning: I know Judo. If you force me to prove it I'll shoot you.
When ordering a new Accurate mold you can specify.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.

I make my own sprue plates with 1/4" thick starret o-1 gage stock I perfer the thicker plates and bigger sprue chamfers I get this way. I also vent or cut a trough to the edge of the blocks and between cavities. This allows "over pouring" when I ladle cast. The bigger sprue chamber keeps the base hot longer also. I have also found this thicker spru plate dosnt tnd to float or warp as much.
