When I beagle my mold with high temp aluminum tape, does the aluminum tape thin out over time? If so, how frequently should I replace the tape with new tape? I don't want to cast 1000 only to find I should have changed the tape before I started :-(

TIA

I doubt it changes in dimensions very much. Certainly not enough to be an issue.

I've never noticed any dimensional differences.

You bet.

The only concern may be tape coming loose. If so, just press it back on.

I just tried Beagling for the first time tonight and it really works well. After a trip through the sizer they measured round. It's a shame this is about the only way to get a lyman mold to cast the correct diameter. FB
