thanks guys

Just fired up my pot for the first time this year and the lead wasn't flowing at all when I lifted the lever, so I drained all of the lead took the plunger assembly off and cleaned it and the pot. I then put new lead back in and still had the same issue..... my question is when I stick a piece of wire in from the bottom of the pot to try and clear the blockage should I be able to see the wire from the inside....????

I haven't used that particular tape but have used regular painters tape to cover up hook eyes while powder painting with a heat gun.

Hatchet and a big hammer works for me....wear some safety glasses and gloves, the edges of the lead can get very sharp after being cut with the hatchet.

I just finished a drop shot order for a local tackle shop and as many of you know getting the swivel to sit just right and not fall back into the mold cavity can be a bit of an issue sometimes especially when the mold is hot. So what I did was place a small block of wood (1/4 - 3/8 ) under the to top side of the mold so that it tilts slightly and the swivels seem to stay put and not slip .....just my tip of the day

I have the same problem sometimes with football heads and the notorious worm head jig......the barbs sometimes do not quite fill in properly, but what I have noticed is that the longer I stick with it during a pour session the better my jigs become. I guess this i due to the pot and mold getting nice and hot, I also put the mold right up against the nipple of my bottom pour pot..........jeff

I did the "tin foil " method today using my heat gun on some modified road runner /snootie jigs. and I am quite happy with the results. It is a little time consuming using the tin foil but I only did a dozen so it's no big deal............jeff
