lol aye the average life of a pirk is about 15mins so i dont suppose the surface finish needs to be calibrated .... :)

Yeah that should do the trick (or just bruise the faces a little that'll produce an air gap :) :) :) ) .... no only kidding

GET ANOTHER ONE MADE WITH VENTS !:D
You dont use pirks anyway so dont worry about the finish i`m sure it will pass the skippers inspection ;)
 
Wow! see what you mean Sean, it doesn't last long though and didn't make any noticeable difference to the pirks.

Tried opening up the joint with 0.006" shims and that made no difference either :confused::confused:

Now thinking a bigger pouring hole might help.

If that fails I'm just gonna call it the fish scale effect :D

There are parts of the pirks that have a mirror like finish similar to that of the mould, they would be something to behold if they were like that all over.
 
Yeah a sort of flux effect, but with a sugar cube size piece added the effect only lasted long enough to pour two pirks and I had about 20lb of molten lead in the pan.
