Today as I smelted some lead to get all the junk out of it I went ahead and fluxed it. I also skimmed it real good and poured it into a muffin pan to make my ingots.

Now, when I melt it again to pour bullets, will I need to flux it again?

I usually don't, unless I start to see crud in the melt. (I smelt outside and cast inside so it's better for the house if I keep the stink and smoke outside as much as possible). That said, I have a bathroom fan vented through the window and mounted closely over my Lee pot and will flux lightly if I have to.
