Soap Dish Casting Attempt 2

I tried casting the soap dish again.  This time it filled the mold 1/3 of the way which is an improvement from last time.  I had widened the gate for the metal to enter from 1/2" to 3/4" which helped, however this time I barely got the crucible melted before my oil tank ran out, so it poured a bit cold.

The ejector pins worked out alright as it stuck to the correct side of the mold.  Unfortunately, I bent the two ejector pins pretty badly from hitting them with a hammer.  It looks like this might actually cast correctly next time
