rovercoupe Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 It might take a couple of goes to get it running right but once going its really easy, the key factors are the amount of lead in the pot and the constant temp if either of these go wayward it all goes wrong. im going off casting big ingots as they lower the temp too much and take forever to melt and then there is too much lead so smaller "medals" might be the way forward! hope it works out its worth it just for a bit of fun if nothing else.
