    A couple of things I found out when casting with delft clay...

    1. Air vents / channels make a BIG difference and avoid poor incomplete castings due to trapped air.

    2. Sometimes placing the mould on a slightly tilted angle helps to get the molten metal into the mould quicker, more so with complicated designs.

    Well done on getting your project completed anyway!
