Tried my first shot a Jacobs 1/8 Pill Head mold. I am basically new to making jig molds. What does pour is really clean, so I am pleased with the quality of the mold. I wanted to start this for relaxation, and now all it seem to be doing is getting my blood pressure up . But that's ok its part of learning and I ask a lot of questions. Name: Jacob Jigs.jpg Views: 610 Size: 248.1 KB My problem is that the barb is not being poured. Its cooling about 1/2 way from the pill head to where the barb should be. I am using a ladle, but it fits the sprue so I can close it completely as I pour. I heated the mold to where you cant hardly even put fingers close enough to put swivel and hook in. That helped some, but the hole in the sprue is really small, should I try and mess with that to make hole a little bigger (I don't want to mess up a $100 mold).....or is there something else that I should be doing? IF I smoke it really good would that help?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I tried to add a picture of what I came up with but don't know if it will upload right.

Thanks
