Re: Best Lead Melt Flux?

I really like this thread. Now I have a few questions. Hawn, I'm glad you had success following these directions. I opted to mow a couple of acres today rather than cast, so tomorrow will be my baptism.

It was suggested to flux when melting down wheel weights for ingots.
1. Is this done before or after the clips are skimmed?
2. Then when adding ingots to my melting pot, I should flux again?
3. How often should I flux the melting pot?
4. Can you flux too much?

I use an 80lb melting pot when spincasting. The lowest I will let it get is about half empty (full??). I will then either add ingots or my sprues from casting. Should I flux at this time?

I will await a response from Sagacious. BTW, I too am curious about your vast knowledge like Cadman. Please include me in your response to his question should you decide to not make it public. Thanks, keep the info coming, I'm like a sponge here.
George
