There I was sittin at the drippy Lee 20lb pot casting some 358429’s to escape the Canadian smoke filled outdoors we have been having lately. While doing so as these things go I contemplated the meaning of life, the universe and everything which still seems to come out to 42 so I drifted onto other paths of brain scratching as the bullet pile grew which lead me to this question for the gang…
Which cavity do you fill first in a 2 cavity mould? And why if you want to elaborate on your reasoning?
To keep the orientation consistent for the poll/discussion on a standard 2 cavity mould using a pliers style handle, the far hole is the one farthest away from the handles and the near hole is closest to the handles (I’d add a pix but I ate all my crayons)
If I did it right the poll should be:
Far- Away from handles
Near- Closest to handles
Either- Whichever one lines up first gets the lead
3, 4 and 6+ Cav moulds and nut cracker handles are a different class/discussion and often need a different technique and are not germane to this brain scratching session though I expect “those” folks will add their 2c anyway
