When your casting is done to you just leave the last little bit of lead in the pot to solidify? Does it matter?
I've read the directions Lee sends with their molds. What would be the ideal lube for the sprue plate? Did the pins also need to be lubed?
How long does the mold need to be dipped into the hot lead to become hot enough?
How quickly should one drop the RBs and refill before it has cooled too much?
How often does the mold need to be lubed and smoked?
Is one form of smoking better than another? I figured I'd just use one of my BBQ lighters.
Do you guys leave your casting equipment in the garage? No reason to fear the high humidity of the south or temperature swings from winter to summer?
