Hello,
Why do you use bottom pour furnaces?
I like my little Lee, what, five pound? It's their small one.
Granted, I'd like it to be bigger and might invest in a bigger one when business picks up again. (Everybody's out shooting and I can't blame 'em!)
I do really like my dippers, though. The small Lee is light and easy to use, and the big one has a large reservoir and a spout. I don't use it as much as I would with a bigger mold -- I have single and dual cavities, but nothing larger -- or with a bigger melt pot.
Still, I use it when I rotate molds, casting with more than one at once. It works really well.
With all the problems I read on here with pour spouts, I can't figure out why the increased complexity is worth it. Heck, if I couldn't cast hot because the valve would drip, I'd be very unhappy.
Thoughts?
Thank you,
Josh
