    After the fail last week, another fail, but much closer to success.
    I made two molds, one with a gate from aside and no risers and the other with a central gate when pouring from top.
    The first one almost succeed, apart from two gaps, and the second one did barely fill. A few weeks ago I did the same in bronze which did fill. Probably the metal was cooled too much when I poured the second mold. An image is at 4:31 in the following video.
