Jig Pouring

[cadman]

Okay, I just hope it is easier than I think it is gonna be to melt and clean hundreds of pounds of wheel weights in that small pot.

The post below By JSC is the best answer you can get, other than us being there to show you. Clean dirty lead in a cast iron pot, then pour to make ingots, then put clean ingots in your Lee IV bottom pour pot.

I use the small lees pots ... I only put in lead that has been cleaned .. fluxed ... in a pot that I heat over a gas burner OUTSIDE.. add the flux material (I use paraffin most of the time candle wax & etc) for just a Lees Pot about 3/4 of a marble ... you do not have to always light it ,, if it is hot enough it will light its self ... if not put a match to it .. this burning is one of the big things ... stir while burning and afterwords ... them skim off all the "Junk" .. If I have some to sit for a while not in use in the pouring pot I will flux it .... also when adding some that I am not sure of ....

Hope this clears up what I was talking about 2 pots ... The cleaning pot can be anything that can stand the heat and weight of the lead ... cast iron is best (holds the heat better as well).


You have gotten some reall good advice.
