I did a fairly long 5 hour production run with my MP molds .360 170 gr Keith on Saturday. Prior to casting I lubed it with very little 2 stroke oil. The casting session went good so far except a minor lead built up toward the end. But that was my fold because I casted pretty fast.
After my casting was done, I went over to the work bench to clean and lubricate the mold for storage.
While preparing it for storage I noticed pretty hard and rough running marks at the pivot point of the sprue plate. I tried to smooth it out because I noticed a fairly large gap between the mold body and the sprue plate.
I’m gonna attach a picture of the mold body’s top just to point it out in a clear way.
Maybe someone can tell me if it is ruined or not. I’m a rookie in the casting business and not sure about this.
Thank you so much and have a good day.
Cheers
Sebastian
