What shold I be careful of when pouring small molds?

Small molds

When pouring small molds, you may sometimes experience difficulty in getting the slip to drain from small pour holes. Try using an atomizer with a piece of small flexible tubing attached. Insert tube into the pour hole, turn mold over, and pump air into the mold. The slip will then run out freely.
