Again, from the Mexican piece on bronze casting:
A la pieza se le han añadido “coladas”, que son unos conductos por donde la cera se irá desalojando del interior del molde.
The entries in the KudoZ glossary aren't what I'm looking for. From what I've read, these could be gates, sprues, or vents, but I'm not sure which is the correct term to use here. *This time I am intentionally posting this under tech/engineering* Thank you!

Comment: "De nuevo, gracias a todos que me han acompanado en esta salida a terrenos nuevos para mí. Voy con "sprues" y doy las gracias por la información que compila Osa. Lo de Luiroi fue impresionante, pero ya lo había revisado, y fue precisamente como me quedaba vacilando entre los sprues, los gates, y los vents, y los tappings...what a nightmare! Thanks again, Oso, and everyone!
Patricia"
