for fluxing. I make ingots in a cast pot and haven't fluxed yet, skim the
pot and when it cools if i leave a thin layer on bottom for the next melt,
I can take it out and dump off the carbon stuff. I pour with a Lee pot
thats 20 yrs old at least. It smokes the electric ladles they don't last.
I'd just like to add to make darn sure your wheel weights are completely dry before putting them in the melter, water and molten lead explodes!

I bake my wheel weights in the curing oven at 350* for about an hour to get any moisture out of them, just a little moisture trapped where the clip is attached will pop and spatter lead out of the pot.
