After my eclectic pour-a-thon the other day, the inclusions sorta bothered me. I did try to scrape down my Pro-Melt, and some stuff did come up, but you got the pour rod and the tight space behind it to impede a good cleaning.
The Lyman ladle is OK..., but I'm not pleased with the stuff floating on the top of my melt. Which then eventually gets into the ladle and goes out the nozzle. With the challenge of teeny 22 caliber boolits, I would like to reduce, if not eliminate, dross from my pours.
The Rowell #1 looks interesting, but it has no nozzle.
Note to the haters, I have no Rowell ladle to measure. I am not a metallurgist. Kindly do not ascribe hidden meanings to my question...
Can the Rowell pour spout be filled at the end, then drilled n tapped to install a real nozzle? The Rowell is cast iron. What fastening technique is compatible? Welding (stick, TIG ???), brazing, hi temp solder? Temps will be under 900 degrees fahrenheit. What kind of a plug material will be suitable? Anything that allows the lead to stick to it would be bad.
