    I actually remelted some old bank sinkers I had laying around for around 25 years a couple weeks ago. I was just wanting to see if my old hot pot 2 still worked. Wanting to get a couple jig molds myself. Forgot how fun it was.

    Love this series, more interested in the plastic than the lead though. Lead seems more dangerous... but I also have a plentiful supply of plastisol to use in the form of my ripped baits that I would love to recycle.

    Thanks Gramps for that great informative video!!! Did you get the tray to pour clean lead into from Do-It & how long before you can takes to set up? Also do you only put wax in one time? Stay Safe & God Bless!!!!

      I give it like 5 minutes, probably don't need more than that before I dump them out to cool. I flux once, maybe twice if I think it needs it.

    I'm confused. I saw you dropped the candle wax into the molten lead but I didn't see any impurities rise to the top until you stirred it so how exactly does the candle wax help the impurities rise to the top

    If I were to melt say 5 lbs of lead, clean it, then use half of it to make jigs, can I leave the rest of the melted lead in the pot and just reuse it next time? Do I have to pour it into a tray like you did? I’m new to this. Thanks!

      I've left it in the pot. Just turn it back on next time you are ready to pour. I will clean it out every once in a while.

    I need an opinion, I got some lead once it's melted down has the consistency of pudding it doesn't want to pour worth a poo.... It doesn't look dirty but it's evidently contaminated with something.... How do I fix this?

    • @R50_J0
      @R50_J0 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Those colors are from running the pot too hot. Gases from the air react with the casting alloy and produces a variety of oxides and other compounds. One of the compounds formed has the funky purple hues.
      The fix? Always use a casting thermometer and keep the pot within the casting temp zone.
      Lead has a very wide temperature difference between the point it melts and the point it boils. It’s very easy to run your pot too hot and think the temp is OK.
