I have had great luck with Bullplate lube. You should have gotten a small bottle with the MP mould. Put some on a q-tip, smear a little on the HP pins. Maybe helps with the "patina"? I dunno, but lead does NOT stick to Bullplate !

If you're gonna be stupid, don't pull up short. Saddle up and ride it all the way in.
I was having trouble casting with a "mystery" wheel weight alloy, tried a known mix: Hardball Bullet Casting Alloy Metal (2%-Tin,6%-Antimony,and 92%-Lead)
It made a world of difference, maybe the tin makes it better?
