Ingot mould, molten silver pouring etc. help please...

I poke a bit of a saw blade through a few times which is enough for venting but not too chunky so you won't get 'branches' off the main rod.

Also this may seem obvious but it's vital that it's well clamped or supported to ensure that it will not tip over when you're pouring.

Thank you 😊. Will give it a go in the morning and let you know how it goes!

The cuttlefish was a bit of a disaster, poured silver all over the clamp and then had a £450 vets bill because the cat had an allergic reaction to it!! So I tried the ingot mould and look... only my second pour and it worked!!!!

Blimey - allergic reaction to what, the cuttlefish?

Molten silver? ... most people do!

Congratulations for succeeding, Sarah. Lots of people have given up on ingot moulds. Do let us know how you get on with making a ring now. Dennis.

Well done Sarah. Sorry to hear about the cat though.
