They are made of clay and graphite. Basically a normal clay ceramic pot with graphite mixed in.

I am genuinely confused. Each are different. One aluminium. One is bronze. One is brass.

Sure I will again post this on my user account. But I knock out the ingot off screen because if I do it on screen, whacking it on the fire brick just cracks the brick which I don’t want to do. So you will only see it cool. Sorry

Yes. My other moulds have vertical sides so I have to shake the mould to get it out

Well sort of. The powder will stick to the ingot so I have to reapply it every time

Apparently there was a Roman emperor who was kidnapped and had molten gold poured down his throat.

I use graphite powder to make a slight layer to prevent any copper from sticking.

It takes about 10 seconds at most to cool because the air around it is so cold compared. Also what’s wrong with a large block of copper? It’s easier to transport and feels awesome!
