You can do that job by other alloys from MCP. I would suggest to use MCP 69
and / or MCP 96.
The first you can cast between 75°C and 85°C and the second around 105°C -
115°C.
Do not put the gate directly on the core but better on the bottom side.
Warm up the mould, at least 70°C with the MCP 69 and 90°C with MCP 96; be sure
there's no moisture in the mould.
If you need more info contact me.
Best regards.
