I am actually a virgin caster and haven't done it yet but have been on this forum for months now and have collected about 100 lbs of WW, 4 lbs of tin from rotometals, three molds and all the casting equipment needed... sorry for the long intro,
Question, I got in on the group buy for the 311284 and purchased the Lee 6 banger mold handles. When I put them together I noticed that the mold would go together perfect but when I would try to open it the back pin (closest to me) catches and the mold will not come open. Now I did not put exessive force into it as I hear molds can be damaged by dropping etc. I thought seasoning might do something so last night. (molds only, they were not on the handles) by bringing the mold up to 375 F four times. Put them back on the handles this morning and the same thing happens. If I rest the LEFT mold on something when trying to open it comes right apart... Is this normal? Do I need to measure the pins as maybe the back one is too far out?
Thanks,
