Bronze Casting - And Pouring Again

Bronze Casting - And Pouring Again

Again pouring into to a taller mold. There is a metal "dike" placed around this mold so it can be fully surrounded by sand. Look closely and you can see there has been a small leak by the cup (opening) of the mold, and some of the bronze ran onto the sand. This is not really a problem as you simply temporarily stop the pour and let the bronze flow down into the mold. You then plug the hole with some material that will cool the bronze so it will solidify and plug the leak. A wet paper towel works very nicely, thank you.
