Caught a trend in our casting rejects. Multiple pieces failing at the seams. Found out some crews skip mold drying steps. Management pushes for faster turnarounds. This leads to wasted metal and safety risks.
I was always wasting minutes looking for the right color tubes. So I bought a cheap shelf unit and sorted everything by color group. Now I have all my warm tones on one side and cools on the other. It sounds basic, but it really speeds up my process when clients are waiting.

Hearing you admit being wrong really shows you get it, @scott.mia. Letting things cool down first just makes more sense for a strong hold.
