Hey slug casters.
Can any of you fellows that have the "Italian" slug mold give me some advice.
When I cast a slug it releases perfect from the mold but will not come off the pin. It's like it fuses itself on there. The only way to get it off is to dip it back in the pot and melt it off.
I am casting strait clip on wheel weighs. Preheating the mold and pin. Running my lead hot.
I tried polishing the center pin inside and out, put graphite spray on, tried silicon spray, tried smoking it as well.
Have any of you experienced this?
Do you think it could be the alloy I'm using?
Should I run it with pure lead?
Any advice would be very much appreciated
Thanks
