Update:
As I said earlier I went out this afternoon and cleaned some lead in regular pot and put in the small bottom pour that I got last week.
I poured several empty pours probably 12-15 to heat up mold. Poured a few with the bottom pour and was kinda hit and miss. But once mold heated up good I started pouring the center hole with hook and swivel and bard started working out. Then just on a whim when I set up hooks and swivel I closed mold and waited extra time to heat the hook as well before pouring.
So, I don’t really know if it was the bottom pour pot or waiting for hook to heat as well. But I came out with 5 hole mold pouring 5 barbs at one time 👍.
I want to thank all that has helped me on this with their input and ideas and I’m sure there will be many more questions along the way....I’d almost bet on it. 😂😂😂
