Molten iron is actually pretty runny. Not quite water, but it's sure not "syrupy" like some people think. It cools fast though, and the cooler
it gets, of course, the more viscous it gets, which is why sometimes molds don't fill all the way, or have crases and folds in the finished part,
where rapidly-cooling iron was forced into a space by the weight of the iron above it.
