Pro tip: Tapping molds twice saved me from a furry surprise

I started tapping each mold two times before pouring to listen for cracks. This habit once made a whole mouse family run out from a hidden spot! What funny things have you found in your casting area?

Wondering if tapping twice is overkill. Do cracks really hide that often? My casting area stays clean, so mice seem like a rare scare. But maybe I've just been lucky with my pours?

Sure... cracks love to hide until you stop tapping... typical.
