Makes sense !!!

Quote:
One trick I learned a long time ago was to use a carpenter's pencil to scribble over the top of the block, to coat it with graphite between the mold and sprue plate. That seems to prevent galling and gives the sprue plate something to slide on. One application lasts through several casting sessions.
Super idea and I thank you !! ....

Be Safe !!!
