So I ran the gauntlet that is trying to get in touch with Mihec to get one of his molds after I heard so many good things about his hollow point molds. It finally showed up today and I have to say I was like a kid at Christmas when I saw the Slovenia return address.
I ran upstairs and began putting the few parts together, and I must be doing something wrong. When I put the pins into the mold, and try to close it, it won't close all the way. It seems like something at the bottom of the mold is preventing it from closing. If I look down through the cavity, I can actually see all the way through the mold. Is there some trick that I'm missing? I made sure to lube the pins, though some of them are pretty sticky and hard to move still...
Any advice at all? I admit, I'm still new to casting, and this is my first HP mold...
