My last casting session with a lyman 452374 DC ended with some needed mold clean up. The mold was still warm so I wrapped both halves in a rag and proceeded to a vise mounted on a wrought iron pillar inside the house. As I was concentrating on cleaning the half with the spur plate, I felt the other half fall out of the rag. Looked around below where I was standing, there is a wood stove, a vacuum, carpet shampooer next to a book shelf. Nothing. I started doubting if it had been in the rag. Went into the loading room to look where I had removed it from the handles, nothing.
That was 6 months ago.
Today I got down on all fours (not easy for me), and with a flashlight, looked under a buffet cabinet and lo-and-behold I found it.Mold half was 4 feet from where I was standing. The mold half must have come out of the rag spinning and hit the carpet and rolled 6" under the cabinet.
