I would like to pour some 9mm and can someone point me to mold preparation instruction? I will use a Lee mold that I do not have yet. 115gr swc
I was looking at a co-shooters molds today one is used and one is NIB.
Both had hanging burrs at the opening of the cavities (2) and (6). The used mold was very dirty he explained the crud on the faces was typical after a mold is used, lube. The new one had obvious fresh hanging burrs around the opening of the cavities where the cutter passed over the opening leaving the burrs hang.
I guess I need to know how to remove the burrs, fine round stick stone? (Im expecting this is a typical occurrence on a new mold and what is the procedure for "Lubing" a mold? What parts should be lubed and should the mold mating faces be free of lube, his were covered. Should a mold be cleaned after use, how, acetone?
What should I use to "smoke" the mold before pouring.
Ive been looking for a "how to get you new mold ready to pour and how to keep it running" thread. there must be one??
