Once could also take the bottom off the bot and then use a drill bit the same diameter or just a touch larger and drill out the spout. I personally drilled out the spout a touch larger as this helped create a better stream/flow of lead through the pot. If you go this route though you will likely need to get yourself some lapping compound and put some on the flow rod tip as well as some in the inside of the pot spout hole and then turn it so it mates the two surfaces to a perfect fit etc. If this is a 10 lbs pot the flow rod is at an angle so you will need to keep the angel the same while you do this. Whether you have the 10 lbs pot or the 20 lbs pot you will have to take the top mounting hardware off so you can turn/spin the flow rod etc.
