Re: Best Lead Melt Flux?

I use a bbq lighter to light my propane torch so there you go, that's what I had for my first bout of fluxing. I was not ready for how large and how long the flame burned. But I stirred the pot with my long handled lee ladel and things went well. I skimmed off the impurities and my pours seemed a bit better but now I have a stupid question.

On this fluxing, is this to make better "BOTTOM" pours. I use a Lee Pot and still tilt and pour rather than using the bottom pourer precision pot. I have one that blades loaned to me but the pour hole is clogged and the pours were incosistent and uneven (without fluxing).

Should I clean the pour hole with something or will fluxing help fix my former bottom pour problems?

I realize my question may be too vague and need more details to answer. So fire away. I'm thick skinned.

Also ordered a fluid bed today from TJ's to hopefully help with too much powder on my jigs.

Haha - I'm a mess!
