cadman Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Lead, mold and hooks have to be hot, hot,hot. This mold has a bigger cavity and pouring has to be fast as it cools fast. I also have this mold completely covered with mold release as this was one of my problem molds. I don't understand your second question. Are you using 5/32" dia teflon pins in lieu of metal base pins? This mold will not take a 1/8" pin unless you modify the pin, as it is too small for the stock pin it takes. You can use 1/8" pull pins in lieu of the 5/32" ones by adding tape to the base of the pin and then making sure it doesn't fall out when you pour. Once you achieved that the lead will fill all the voids and you will have a nice 1/8" pin hole instead of the big one they cut in the mold.

rednekf150 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 yes im useing the 5/32 basepins but as i close the mold the hook will shift enough that the hook and base pin dont line up perfectly. thanks for the info on the mold i think thats what i did wrong every thing looked good until i cut the gate off and there was a small hole on about 80% of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
