Travis,

    Start with this article: http://tinyurl.com/2z72fd 

    I think it will answer all/most of your questions. It's a
    well-written and researched article on stone-in-place casting. 

    The other consideration (and I've had less trouble with black
    diamonds than white in this area) is that the stone not get "frosted"
    or burned. That means modifying burnout a bit and being careful with
    casting temperatures. 

Hope this helps!
