i think a cheap pin can be cut from a bicycle spoke , no?

does anyone know where i can get the screw eyes used in the ms slammer joint.i thinking there stainless but maybe not?

i,ve been pouring all the cavities,getting the mold real hot,and i,ve tried pouring at the highest setting and working at each heat level.but what makes the most sense is that my hooks could be too low of a temperature. my lead has come off a scuba weight belt,but i think it,s soft enough, because of the flawless pours without a wire.if the hooks get heated , and there,s no change should i be adding some wax or some other flux? thanks for the quick responses. ed c.

i have a new do it bullett sb mold and am having trouble getting a complete pour.when i pour the mold without a wireform it,s fine,but after the wire is added and poured the collar on three of the four sizes is not pouring.after researching this forum,i gathered that it probably is getting an air pocket in the collar & needs to be vented.i etched a line out the side of the collar,and got a little bit of the collar to pour,but it,s still not right.question i have is how big of a vent do i need,do i vent both halves of the mold?or should i have vented the collar at the bottom,parralell to the wireform? could someone maybe post a pic of there vented mold & it,s location and depth. i just cant believe i have to alter a brand new mold to work. thanks in advance for any help. ed c.
