Cast Tin!

Step 6 Pour and let cool.

 So before you pour, make super-sure you got your safety gear on right. It can splatter like hell. Get the layers of your protection right, Get ready, then when you are ready, take a few deep breaths, grab the crucible, and pour slowly and steadily.

If your mold is good, it should be like pouring liquor.  If your mold has any moisture in it, or anything that changes phase below the melting point of tin, get ready for some flying molten metal. 


Then, let it cool, let it cool a lot. 

So before you think you're clever, the Tin conducts heat well, so you can check the temperature of the tin, and get a good idea, right? Wrong. Your mold material doesn't conduct heat very well at all, so it will be smouldering hot for a very long time. Let it sit a while.
