Today I was casting with a new mould and everything was going very well and I was thinking about the number of casters that have complained in the past about the Lee pots dripping. Mine does drip on occasion but has not been a big problem.

After getting my mould up to temp I got out my Bullplate Lube and started using it on my new mould when a thought arose, I wonder what would happen if I applied Bullplate Lube to the upper and lower shoulder bolts of the valve mechanism, so I did. The mechanism works much smoother now and I didn't have any drips.

You guys with problem 4-20 pots might want to give this a try.

Also you can apply Bullplate to the mould guide and it takes away the "drag" when moving form cavity to cavity on larger heavy moulds !
