Not a good sprue plate lube LOL
I was watching a 8 year old little helper this afternoon
I needed more 44 mag bullets ( Lee 310 gr )
He has "helped" me cast a few other times
Well he was sitting next to me with his goggles , leather gloves and long sleeve shirt on
As I sat the mold down a bit to cool
He did just what I had done earlyer
He lubed the sprue plate screw
Errr , he had a dirty gummy bear that he had dropped
So he used it
I just opened the mold up and turned off the pot
We then washed up and had a snack
Gummy bears melt real quick on a hot mold :veryconfu
Not sure how long it is going to take to remove it
But at least he was safe , he used his gloved hand to put on the "lube"
Oh well kids are a joy and he isn't even mine
