Am using the NRA 50/50 stick lube as lubricant on one of my molds and it appears that I put too much on and it has gotten on the mold face and baked up. How do I take it off the mold face?
The mold (2 banger .457 rb) is not producing good bullets and it may be that the NRA 50/50 has closed a lot of the vents. The mold is being used with NOE's digital monitor and the lead temp is being managed with an NOE thermometer.
Mold at 400 degrees and the lead at 725 seems to have worked out best, but the bullets are still not where I want them.
The mold has been thoroughly scrubbed with a toothbrush and Acetone (1 hour?)and the scrubbing didn't seem to have much effect on the NRA 50/50.
