Looks great, Pete!

You are so right Tom, I was a bit taken aback when I stripped the casting down to the metal, it appears to be a matter of cutting off the ingate and riser and then slathering it with bog. The surface of the bare casting was surprisingly rough. Also they are comprised pretty much entirely of nooks and crannies- a large proportion of the sanding was done with the side of my little finger.
