I’ve found with heavy castings if I don’t keep the vacuum on long enough the metal shrinks back and distorts the surface. But thats just how I do it. The poking was to see if the metal had solidified yet. I over heat my metal, so it tends to take a little longer to solidify. I’m always tweaking the process to increase the quality of my castings.
