    H&G 130 my first steel mold

    At a gun show last weekend where I bought a H&G 130 4 cavity mold and handles. Doesn't appear to have been used much all 4 cavities are clean no pitting, no dings. On the outside of the blocks and the sprue plate is is a little surface oxidation more like dirt than rust.
    Looking to try it out tomorrow anything beyond the normal scrubbing with hot water and Dawn that I should do?

    if the cavity's are clean and oil free I wouldn't even clean it.

    other than getting it hot and washing it down real quick with some degreaser then casting with it a bit before lubing everything.... nuthin.

    I predict you're gonna love it! I probably would squirt the inside with degreaser and brush it with a tooth brush, just because.
