Metal Pour

Once your mold is put together and secured, it is now ready to have metal poured into it. First prepare the pour bed by first digging out a small hole for the form to rest in while metal is being poured into it. If you have multiple molds being poured you should also arrange them in an order that makes them easy to quickly and efficiently pour. After you have gently rested your piece(s) in the pour bed, put on all of your required safety equipment while the metal heats up. After you're all ready, the only thing left to do is pour the metal into the form and allow 24 hours for it to cure and cool down.
