1......preheat your mold to hot..

2......after melting your lead..skim off the crap that floats to the surface in your pot.it will mess up a good pour.

3.....the pouring spout on those are to round and wide....file or grind a nice shape "V" into it....lead always flows abit wider then the snoot it's being poured out of on hand ladles.
