I bought one of the new minnow head molds with recessed eye sockets. It's the half and half 1/32 1/16 mold. Those are the sizes I use most and I hoped having four of each would significantly speed up pouring jigs over the walleye mold where I only really use two cavities. I got the stuff out last night and poured up a bunch.
I found I'm getting a lot of incomplete pours, even when the mold is warm. All of the molds I've used previously have the gates that lead into the cavity from the top down. This mold has gates that lead into the side of the cavity and I'm finding it tricky to get a good pour on all the cavities. I don't think I had a single pour where there wasn't at least one that didn't need another shot and it's really slowing me down.
Any advice?
