Abstract
The space between the open bottom mold and the supporting stool used for casting ingots is sealed by placing a thin wall steel tube between the mold and the stool. The weight of the mold partially collapses the tube causing the surfaces of the tube to conform to both the surfaces of the mold and the stool, thus forming a seal.
