I have two brass MP molds that my lovely wife got me for our anniversary. One is solid the other is hollow point. My first casting session with the a couple weeks ago was great, and I had no issues.
I took them out yesterday to cast some more and I kept running into the same problem with both molds. After I cut the sprue, I flip them over to open, but when I try to open them one or more of the boolits stick, preventing me from being able to cleanly open the mold.
Sometimes if I tap them with my mallet before I open them they come open just fine, but not every time.
I'm casting with both molds at the same time, alternating like I do with my aluminum molds, and I had gotten them pretty hot before the first cast with my hot plate. Not sure if the molds are too hot or what.
Any ideas?
