Hi Guys, started casting again after 30 years, a friend of mine did all the casting. Now he is no longer with us and he took all his casting knowledge with him. If I want cast boolits I have to do it myself. All my old stuff works just fine and some new Lee 6 bangers. (is that Leementing or Leemending? works great) I have refreshed allot on this site and learned allot more I just want to give everyone a big THANK YOU the only thing I can't find is where and how to lube the mold blocks and not wrinkle the boolits, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks again.

Bullplate lube. Available from The Bullshop, link at bottom of this page. Very good stuff.

I second the bullplate lube. Wrinkled bullets are the mold not being hot enough. Lube only the alignment pins, and only lube the bottom of the sprue plate with fresh warm bullets in the cavitys.
