I just cast up a couple hundred of .50, and .45 R.E.A.L. castings.
Wow! did they come out great! New mold, no rejects!!!
I did, soak them each for five days in mineral spirits. Lots of aluminum flakes in the bottom of the cups I soaked them in. No wonder my other molds took time to cast with.
At any rate. I have a bunch of beeswax. I want to pan lube them.
Any good mixtures you guys found?
They are impressive castings.
One of the hold downs on the .45 mold came loose. When it cools I will peen the aluminum holding it.
I ran my pot low doing this. The pot got red inside. I run it at 9.
