    While I'm pretty sure there are better ways to do it, if it works, it works! My last casting run, some years ago, wound up pretty porous, so you did better than I did. Keep at it!

    Question

    Approximately how much gas did you use to do this melt?

    Not sure but it wasn't very much. The burners powerful so melts aluminium quite quickly....
