The 20lber arrived yesterday and a fine example of quality it is. I fired it up last night and did some more casting with the 40-1 and .310 Cadet mould. In a wild fit of enthusiasm I decided to give the bottom pour thing a go again. Found I was faster with the ladle and it was physically easier. And of course the pot did a lil dripping. At the end of the session I emptied the pot, let it cool, took out the pouring mechanism and prompt wound a big self tapper into the pour hole. Ladles R Us is back.
