Spincast Heads Paint problem, help please! Pics

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, was hoping for some help with a strange problem. 

We have heads that are made with lead alloy from a spincast machine. 

No matter what we do - we are getting weird like fish eye look on the heads. it looks like little salt dots on the heads. 

Absolutely no issues when hand pouring pure soft lead. None at all. only an issue with these spincast heads. 

Any way to fix this, very frustrated at this point!

Thank you

I have this problem also since I ran out of the lead that used to be used for roof vent pipes. It is frustrating. I just re-dip the head after it cools to just put a dusting on and heat it. If you find a fix let us know.

I agree completly with Fatman. I have had that problem before and it is usually because of too much talc in the molds.

it also happend with some very old powder paint.

the vinagar did fix the problem for me. I mixed he vinagar with half water, heated the water to 180F and then rinsed in clear water.
