TIL that letting my furnace ramp up slower avoids hot spots

Used to crank the heat fast to save minutes. Melt would have uneven sections. Started a slower warm-up routine last month. Now the pour is consistent every time. Fewer scrapped casts.

Slow and steady wins the race, makes sense.

Guess my old 'time saving' method was just a great way to waste metal instead. Who knew not rushing could actually be faster?

anthony_campbell88 might be onto something here for once.
