Sonny, you might want to review Tim Crosby's tutorial in the Tutorial section of this forum to see if you missed something during the set up.  He's done a few of these and seems to have it down pat.  I review it all the time as I want to give this a whirl some time this year.

i havent tried wood or horn yet but i have done some antler. i undercut the pour area as well as drilling tiny holes at angles in the pour area to help it flow and give it an anchor point. i have also switched to silver solder which works better for me.
