Evenly heating aluminum blocks?
Seems like no matter how I heat the blocks, once I start getting good fill out, the edges of the lube grooves look too hot. They’re so heavily frosted, the edges are indistinct and look rounded, like they didn’t fill out completely, while the nose & base may not be frosted at all.
I’m guessing that’s because the shoulders that form the grooves are where metal is thinnest, so that’s where the blocks get hottest.
I cast with either COWW + 2 or 50/50 Pb/COWW+2 with the PID on my Pro Melt 2 set at 730.
