hi
melted some scrap lead from the scrap yard along with reclaimed shot ended up with a pot of material that would not melt took the temp over 1000 deg and it just looked like creamy mashed potatos . emptied what i could get out of the pot it looked like some in the bottom of the pot had started to melt but as soon as you skimmed the surface it formed a film like mashed potatos . as i said poured what i could out of the pot but some of it stuck to the sides and bottom of the pot and the ladle . tried to use wire brush in drill press with some success but still have quite a bit in the bottom of the pot. tried to melt it out with propane torch but the pot turns cherry red but it will not melt. any thoughts other than i should have stopped before i got the temp that high
