I've been watching a few videos, and reading threads where people mention "whacking" their sprue plate mould with a stick. either to cut the sprue or drop the boolit.
why do you do this?
I've even cast pure tin boolits and had no prob cutting the sprue by hand.
and with the 60% of boolits that dont fall right of the mould(mostly cause i dont let it cool long enough) a wee bit of pressure with my thumb will pop them right out.
so am i missing something by not whacking my mould?
