    I took pretty much all the advice here, and I must say my castings
    came out with a great deal of improvement. 

    I took a longer burnout cycle, and while the investment did not
    flake, unfortunately it cracked on all three molds that were in there.
    However, the cracks did not make their way down to the models, so
    luckily the castings were not affected. 

    I'll dial down the burnout cycle to something inbetween next time. 

    Thanks to all who have helped me... things are slowly improving :-).
