Latest moulds have arrived...

Looks like everything is there - should start trying them out in.... half an hour?

This is how the masters look when returned. Some of those heads and javelins are already down for reuse...
The moulds themselves had a strange journey. Should have arrived last night at about 9pm. Tracking was saying at that time that they were on time... and in Tamsworth. Which is further away from us than Nottingham is. Think somebody got things a bit wrong!

    Interesting. How many times can a mold be used?

      Varies. There is a nominal idea that a mould does about 100-150 spins, but deep undercuts would reduce that. Fact is, though, I've had a lot of moulds that go way beyond that number. A soft Tiranti mould with undercuts tends to break up straight away... which is why I like to get harder moulds made!
