Nope, too much gravity on the left side.

I think the heat is fine...you just didn't flux the right half of your pot well enough... :kidding:

Don't you know; or no one told you that: you need to stir the flux in a figure 8 pattern to avoid that! :veryconfu

Check with the guys from Australia. The shinny side would be the other side there I think.

That is a keeper, but it needs to be mounted on the "oops" board.

Take a bore brush to the frosted side. (It's hotter, but has insulating something on it) Also, clean the mold faces so they'll transfer heat. Pour the lead (tilt mold to) on the shiny side first (fill with mold tilted).
