I'm new to the casting scene. I have cleaned and recleaned a little over 100 lbs. of pure lead. Using a Lee Magnum Melter, with the switch at about 7 on the dial, from time to time, I was getting the bluish hue to the lead as I poured ingots. Now as I added Superhard and tin, making it 95-3-2 alloyed, I get a frosty look to the ingots. And before I can add more lead to the pot, a goldish film develops on the surface in the pot. I assume I need more heat if I get frosting. But the gold film throws me. I'm pouring ingots into a muffin tray.
I ordered two molds from MidwayUSA last week. I'm hoping to get them later this week. I'm feeling like a kid right before Christmas.
