"Sagacious", I thought 1/32-1/16" seemed like a lot of metal to remove from gate walls until you reminded me you pour much bigger castings than my tiny head Do-it Pro RHs. The sum of my gate improvement experience right now is a few minutes razor blade shaving the gate walls of one half of one cavity in one mold, and I'm excited how such a simple effort can improve the pouring efficiency so much. I agree that slight aberrations on the gate surface can ruin pourability - many production Do-its I use have one cavity that never seems to fill out right despite appearing no different from others in the set. Never considered gate mods before and hopefully this will solve the problem.

Edit: leaving for a month tomorrow - catch ya all in July.
