That marvelux flux stuff is on sale right now for around 5 bucks for a half pound!
Have you used this?
It sounds too good to be true :?
I called the tech dept and was a long wait. I may call back, but I like the Non-Smoking Non-Fuming Odorless part.

Hey guys! I just read through this thread, man what a lot of great info!

I've been pouring lead (bullets, sinkers and jigs) for many years. I've been very pleased with a couple of products from Frankford Arsenal. Drop-out mold release and CleanCast fluxing compound.

The Drop Out is invaluable as a mold release. Just spray it on and, most of the time, jigs will fall right out of the mold. An application will last for quite a while.

The CleanCast is hands-down the best fluxing agent I've ever used. In my experience, it works better than paraffin, beeswax or anything else I've used..

It's available from Midway USA. http://www.midwayusa...imensionid=5671
