I don't have enough info on how you are casting. you can email me for assistance. Talc is normally used to dust molds. Keep sections thinner than 1/4"(thinner is better). Use closed molds with proper venting if possible. You need to control temperature of the pewter.

Pewter Casting
One of the members of the Yahoo newsgroup Castinghobby does proffesional pewter casting in these molds, and will probably help you (it may take two or three days to catch his attention, so keep asking). If that doesn't work, write me at michael.a.porter@comcast.net and I will look him up for you.
