Interesting development
My beloved 429244 4 cavity mould has a little personality I was unaware of until now. As cast with 50/50 lino/WW, the driving band measures .431, as does the base band. The middle band only measures .429 to .430. I have a .432 Star die on the way, and I should be okay as long as I don't crank the lube pressure in the Star up too much. I'll have to use the heater, and as little lube pressure as I can use & still get the grooves filled.
