I tried casting the SpirAls at one time. We had one done, and I finished the block on the machine to make it fit specs. And saddly, There was to much air in the copper mix and when I took the base of the block down, it leaked like a shower head. That turned me off on the whole idea. I hope you have better luck. What are u using to melt your copper ? I know it takes about 800 degrees to melt it, and what about air bubbles in the melt? Have you gotten any?

Good luck.
