I have a Lee Production Pot that I purchased sometime in the early 2000s. Due to accident injuries, I haven't done any casting for almost 20 years. I am currently returning to casting, but I am experiencing some problems with my Pot.
My Pot is a bottom pour model. When I go pour lead into my molds, I am lucky if I can get interrupted dribbles out of the spout. I am unable to get a good stream of lead out of the spout. When I use a small pick to clear the spout, I can't actually improve the flow.
I am afraid that I have a build up of old lead and slag. How far can I go to in taking apart the Pot in order to clean the inside of the spout? How would you recommend that I go about cleaning the inside of the pour spout?
As always, thanks in advance for your help!
