    I've finally gotten to the point where I'm casting ingots, but I've
    got a question or two about the ingot itself.  When I pull it out of
    the mold, I quench it, pickle it file the flash off and scratchbrush
    it. When I'm through I still have numerous small pits in the ingot
    and flow marks.  Is this normal?  And if not normal, what could I be
    doing wrong?  Thanks for all the help to date. 

Richard, in chilly Michigan, enjoying the cold.
