lee production IV pot support for mold when pouring

[edadmartin]

I didn't notice the difference between the production IV and 4-20 pots ,only looked at price. DUH ! Anyway There are no support posts on my pot so no way to add the lee mold guide support. Anyone have a cool permanent/adjustable support idea for the smaller production 4 pot?

I don't bother w/ the mold guide. I cut plywood to fit between the posts. Stack it up to the height I want. Provides a lot better support.

I also use wood on my 20 pound lee pot, piece of 2X4 slides right in and then a piece of 3.8
Left over Marble ( scrap ) on top of that. If the pot drips it wont stick to the marble,
But is will at times stick to the wood.

I have found NO need to have it permanent. It's just to easy the way it is.
+ at times it does need a slight shim depending on the mold.

For me the supplied mold guide is useless, some folks like it.

ok was thinking metal but wood could work .

Pieces of wood plywood are marked for use for supports. Differant pieces for various mouls. This works for me and is cheap, but then so am I.

I built a stand to hold my production pot to give it stability. I am now working on a flat metal shelf that attaches to the stand so nothing is permanently attached to my melter. I bought a piece of 8" by 24 " flat metal and bent it in a squared C shape. I plan to screw it into the wood base on each side, so you just slide the melter into the stand and it hits the shelf once it's attached. I haven't cut it yet or I would post a pic.
