I just made a Tail Weight Mold using a blank U-Do-it mold.
Someone gave me a lead pouring pot.
Any tips you can give me before I try? I understand the safety aspect.

Someone told me to heat up the mold itself before I pour. Is this necessary? How much do I need to heat it if so?
Do I need to apply some sort of mold release on my mold?
