If you warm the mold by puting the bottom front cornors in melted lead or warming the bottom over the stove before you start it will help [now I did say warm that only about half the temo. of melted lead] and a small peice of bees wax syired in after the leads melted helps to; Be carful! make sure there is no moisture at all in the molds before you start to pour if there is it will turn to steam and spit melted lead all over.
