Dawn Ultra with OLAY – My bullets look lousy but my hands are pretty

  I received a new mold a couple weeks back and although I didn’t need to cast with it yet I gave it my usual scrub with dawn and hot water. I cast 150 or so to try the mold and check the as cast dimensions, dang not a keeper in the bunch. I put it away to be worked out at a later date.
  Well last Friday was our 39th wedding anniversary, my wonderful wife ordered a 5 cavity Noe mold cut for the .30 cal XCB. ( did I catch a keeper or what). The mold was in my hot little hands on Monday, THATS SERVICE!!!
  I gave it the scrub, heat cycled it a couple times and put it to work. I preheated it, when the melt was right I started ladling. After I tossed the first 3 or 4 cycles into the sprue pile I water dropped a 100 or so and shut things down( starting to get hot in the garage).  Not a keeper in the bunch. Wrinkles galore. Melt was ww+2% solder then cut 50-50 with pure lead.
  I went into the house totally confused. I decided to give it another cleaning and try it the next day. Second verse, same as the first.
  My wife and I were sitting on the porch talking and remembered the new dawn she bought contained OLAY. We used to buy the regular blue. That OLAY stuff must be some kinda tough. I gave the molds a scrubbing with old Dawn and the rinse water still beaded on the mold like it was oily. I broke out the Comet cleanser and that cleaned it so the water sheated off.
  I tried my hand at the ladle again, PRESTO, Keepers rained from the mold.

  Life is good, Marvin
