I already had the knob at 70%, whereas last week, it was the proper temp at about 55%. I've read up on the casting pot that I got and several customers have complained about similar problems. Unfortunately, there's not many options available and I certainly do not want to waste energy melting one ladle at a time.Justin Penwithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06194198434790757522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636343184339859324.post-291393552177682242017-10-01T16:59:51.511-07:002017-10-01T16:59:51.511-07:00Initially I found that its hard to get the right t...Initially I found that its hard to get the right temperature as I was not able to cast a single horse until after a week of trying.
