I had my first go at casting tonight.  I thought I'd be able to make a blank with 3 colours but it goes off all of a sudden and the red was a lump as I poured it and so it was impossible to mix the colours together and so also a few small pinholes.  I put it in the pressure pot but think the damage was done before I put any air in at all.  A disappointment was that I used pearlex for the colouring but there is no shimmy at all.  Roll on MkII tomorrow. :thumbs:
