I’ve been using a Lee 20lb bottom pour pot for many years. I have always wanted a ProMelt. I finally got one from a friend getting out of casting all together. I fired it up and started pouring. Wondering why I waited so long to upgrade.
Then I add one ingot. The nozzle immediately freezes up. Ugh. I mess with it and get it going. Then another ingot, freeze up. Every time I added a single ingot, it would freeze up. Is this normal? My Lee 20lb never did this. Even full, it would freeze up.
Should I just run it hotter? Hate to run hotter than necessary.
