I did my first casting session on Monday. Fun. Used a 2 cavity 358477 and a ladle.
When I hold the ladle against the sprue plate I get lead under the sprue plate. Makes a funny looking bullet, to be remelted.
When I hold the ladle up a bit and pour it thru the hole I do not get the lead under the sprue plate.
I had tried tightening the sprue screw while I was working but it still did it. The mold is used. Is the plate possibly bent? I understand the plate is a replaceable item, when does it get replaced? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
HH
