I've tried pouring every cavity, but some cavities didn't fill well, and it as a waste of time. I also tried to pour every other cavity, with the same problems. I personally feel that once you get in a rhythm of pouring one at a time, it goes much easier, with more complete pours. Every mold I have pours slightly diferent. I write the info on the mold. Which way to tilt, how far from the pot etc. This reduces a lot of trial an error, and with 60 molds, I can't remember all that in my head. Finally, I only pour one mold at time, and when I'm done I go on to a different mold. I hope this answers your question.
All I can say here is "ditto". One mold and one cavity at a time. I have about 45 molds, some production ones and I can do way more in an hr. of perfect pours than with trying to pour multiples. Also it seems that the molds have a unique personality and some are easier than others to use but you have to make notes as to each of their quirks.
