Once again i come on bent knees asking for help. this time i only gots 2 questions.
While i am casting with a multipal cavity mould i have noticed when i have filled one cavity an in the process of moving to the next one. A bit of the extra lead on top of the sprue plate has droped into the next cavity. An i don't start filling the next cavity till i move from the filled to the unfilled one.
It doesn't happen that often, but i am wondering if it negativly affects the second bullet in the pour. It happens more often when i try to fill all cavities without stopping the silver stream. It happens a lot less if i fill each hole individually.
#2 After the boolits have cooled an i am in the process of working with them. Culling the bad, Lubing,loading. If anyone of the boolits falls on the floor i usually through that one back for remelt because of deformation. Am i too over causious.
Usually the fall is on a concreat , tile , or wood.
