    Set a propane torch where its comfortable and at the correct angle and warm the pin with it. A hot plate works well to warm everything and may get it where you need to be.
    otherwise its cast hard and fast, dipping the corner of the mould into the molten lead may also transfer enough heat to the pin the problem is the part of the pin that does the work isn't going to be in contact with the blocks but in open air meaning heat has to transfer thru the pins mass itself.

    As said above when casting cast don't sort or cull.,cast and at a brisk pace.

    Lighty polish pin with 600 grit sandpaper or valve grinding compound. If its a lee hollow base pin smoke with a lighter if a NOE or MP mold lightly lube with sprew lube or even better get a lube pen from goodsteel
    As lothers have said run tou pot hotter and use a hotplate to get mold hot . cast quicker
    All these tips together will help

    Follow the advice given, polish pin, get hot, keep hot and cast fast as you can.
    Another trick is , when the mould and pin are cool , give the pin and cavity a light coat with Liquid Wrench Dry Lubericant. I have a bottle of the liquid and apply a thin coat to pins and cavities, it will act as a mould release and does not contaminate. I coat my moulds with it before storing away.
    Sprue plate top and bottom, top of block, cavities and pins. Next session...heat and cast...boolits seem to jump out....just try it one time.

    soon as the snow go away, I will go away, to find a pine heartwood or stump and find fat pine and try it. Never heard of it before, learn something new everyday

    Sprue plate lube. Goodsteel has it in a "felt pen looking thing" lol

    I can't for the life of me remember who makes / sells the lube, hope someone will chime in.

    Smear on alum, steel, brass mould - hot lead doesn't stick.

    Over time you will get a carbon surface coating that nothing will stick to.

    If you're gonna be stupid, don't pull up short. Saddle up and ride it all the way in.

    Holey Moley....I didn't know they made 3 dry lubes ! More than likely any one will do.
    The stuff I've been using is the SDS #L512...label says "Dry Lubricant" and below that it says "resists dust and dirt ". I have a 4 oz. bottle for Q-Tip application and a spray can for large surfaces.
    I use the Q-Tip application and the liquid most on moulds , easy to controll and the bottle will last for years.
    For sprue plate lube synthetic two-stroke oil works great , apply with the Q-Tip.
