Watching this video on 5th September 2023. Video was made over 1yr ago and still helping people out.. top job on the video mate.. well done
Dirty dirty lead will always get ya. I never got to experience a Grandpa in my life, so I've unofficially made you my cool gramps that I can visit anytime. Rock on gramps🤙
I am honored!
Nice instructional Video Gramp's! Enjoyed it.
Awesome content made bank sinkers with my grandfather molds when a teenager now 62 and retired have to get into making jigs
Absolutely love this series keep up the great content 👏 👍
If only I would have watched this video before I wasted 25 hooks! Hahah great video and information! Hoping my next pour won’t be so disappointing!
Heh, we all learn the hard way
Well, I ran out of lead but when I get more and clean it, I’ll let you know if pouring turned out better for me!
Awesome vid gramps I didn’t know anything about this process but thanks to you I do now 🤣
Great video I never knew that about lead thank you an God bless Happy Spring
Good video gramps liking the quality videos and good editing.
Trying to get a little better each time
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.
Nice being able to get molds for all kinds of projects these days.
Thanks a lot Gramps!!!!
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.
yup, I'll be going back and forth
Great vid, Gramps. A necessary process that many avoid unfortunately. --Cuda
yeah, it's a process. Even I'm learning, or in this case, relearning as I go.
I would use needle nose vise grips to hold the hooks and use bernzomatic torch over the cast iron pot to remove the lead from the bad pours
Hehe, done did
Good one, Gramps
Thanks for the instructional video. Out of ignorance, I did the same with my new pot. What’s the best way to clean it and start over with fluxed clean ingots?
i emptied and went after it with a wire brush
Gramps I have been struggling and cleaned the lead in the Lee pot would you suggest cleaning in a separate pan/pot?
Couldn't hurt
Can I place some Frankford arsenal cleancast lead fluxing compound in my Lee casting pot to clean the lead for previous pours and have a piece of mind until I have to reload the Lee casting pot again?
I take that as a yes then since you ’liked’ the post!?
I have no idea. As I said in this series, I am just sharing what I learn as I go
Mask glasses and hat had me rolling
Fk man I feel your struggle 😅
Awesome video
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?
i've tried various flux, saw dust and candle wax, but I'm new to it as well. Might be worth a comment on the Do-It Molds channel where the pros can answer better than I
Great video. What do you do wth the impurities once you scoop them out? I.e. Where do you immediately place them?
on the concrete floor or in this case, my metal work bench
@@FishINwithGRAMPS Thanks!
Just subscribed. Heard you on live monsterbass just now with Chad.
welcome to the fam Damily!
@@FishINwithGRAMPS i get tired of watching my own videos. HAHA. Always need something new to watch.
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!!!!
Yes I did, store.do-itmolds.com/Ingot-Mold-Lee_p_885.html?AffId=14
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.
@@FishINwithGRAMPS Thanks Gramps. Much appreciate!!
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
Beats me, science!
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.
@@FishINwithGRAMPS Thank you very much!
Where can I get a Pot like the one you used to remelt the old or dirty lead ??
here you go: amzn.to/40zsFzj
Hiw do i get the oil spill colors out of the top lair
I scoop them out with a spoon
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.
What, no crappie or walleye jigs?
first things first!
All new gear so your going to make a lot of sinkers it seems?
Jigs, neds mostly
