okay i’m inserting my mold, as you can seei’m going to burn out here, the wax is no longer in here and i have an open cavity formy metal to be pushed into. tighten those up. what i normally do is light the torchwhile that metal’s still hot, get it ready to melt again. your metal cools down whileyou’re grabbing your flask, that’s okay just re-heat it. keeping it around that metalas to not boil it, of course use gloves. it takes a good amount of time to get used towhat your metal needs to look like before you insert it into your mold. if it’s notcompletely molten then you end up with incomplete casting. if it’s overheated of boiled youend up with a lot of ferocity which is basically little holes in your casting and many otherissues can arise. give it a little shake.

get it moving there. and also take a graphitestick, and stir it up make sure it’s all molten and together before you let it go.now what i’m going to to do shake it up, drop a pin and basically when i let go it’sgoing to shoot that metal into my cavity. sterling silver, usually it takes a few secondsto cool once it hits that flasks it pretty much takes its shape and you find out whatyou ended up with there. let it keep spinning so it can cool naturally. and then we removethat flask that i just shot that metal into and quench it in some water and then pullout your piece.
