    Hi Jeff: I have realloyed my metal and made casting shot at the same
    time. I have never experienced water being trapped as you would think
    the water would be a vapor that would not allow encompassment. I have
    had some interesting shapes arrive during this process... the trick
    is to have enough distance between your crucible and the water. I
    usually stand on a chair and let it fall in to about 2' of water.
    Make sure you use a metal container. RingmanJohn
