Yes, dip to the top band or so.
I use strait LLA heated up in a fondue mini crock pot.
Stand on a cookie sheet to dry a few days. Once dried, they cleanly come off the 'puddle' of LLA. Before that, the puddle is still soft and they just smear and make a mess.
Then I use a plastic putty knife and scrape the dried puddles and deposit back into the pot for reuse.
Probably not fast enough if your needing thousands right away or weekly,,, but I keep well ahead and it works for me...
