Dirty dirty lead will always get ya. I never got to experience a Grandpa in my life, so I've unofficially made you my cool gramps that I can visit anytime. Rock on gramps🤙

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

I am honored!

[@Da_pleb]

Watching this video on 5th September 2023. Video was made over 1yr ago and still helping people out.. top job on the video mate.. well done

[@scottvermonter920]

Nice instructional Video Gramp's! Enjoyed it.

[@micahread4795]

If only I would have watched this video before I wasted 25 hooks! Hahah great video and information! Hoping my next pour won’t be so disappointing!

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

Heh, we all learn the hard way

[@micahread4795]

Well, I ran out of lead but when I get more and clean it, I’ll let you know if pouring turned out better for me!

[@williamtomlin192]

Awesome content made bank sinkers with my grandfather molds when a teenager now 62 and retired have to get into making jigs

[@JJH2613]

Absolutely love this series keep up the great content 👏 👍

[@joshlanham4885]

Awesome vid gramps I didn’t know anything about this process but thanks to you I do now 🤣

[@papat3877]

Great video I never knew that about lead thank you an God bless Happy Spring

[@darinblackburn6023]

I actually remelted some old bank sinkers I had laying around for around 25 years a couple weeks ago. I was just wanting to see if my old hot pot 2 still worked. Wanting to get a couple jig molds myself. Forgot how fun it was.

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

Nice being able to get molds for all kinds of projects these days.

[@neelyroofing1315]

Thanks a lot Gramps!!!!

[@danielhedrick9917]

Love this series, more interested in the plastic than the lead though. Lead seems more dangerous... but I also have a plentiful supply of plastisol to use in the form of my ripped baits that I would love to recycle.

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

yup, I'll be going back and forth

[@JIGSQUAD]

Great vid, Gramps. A necessary process that many avoid unfortunately. --Cuda

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

yeah, it's a process. Even I'm learning, or in this case, relearning as I go.

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

Good video gramps liking the quality videos and good editing.

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

Trying to get a little better each time

[@brucenichols9206]

I would use needle nose vise grips to hold the hooks and use bernzomatic torch over the cast iron pot to remove the lead from the bad pours

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

Hehe, done did

[@shannonkirby9295]

Good one, Gramps

[@SM-nv1jj]

Thanks for the instructional video. Out of ignorance, I did the same with my new pot. What’s the best way to clean it and start over with fluxed clean ingots?

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

i emptied and went after it with a wire brush

[@botoepfer8588]

Gramps I have been struggling and cleaned the lead in the Lee pot would you suggest cleaning in a separate pan/pot?

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

Couldn't hurt

[@landenschooler6726]

I need an opinion, I got some lead once it's melted down has the consistency of pudding it doesn't want to pour worth a poo.... It doesn't look dirty but it's evidently contaminated with something.... How do I fix this?

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

i've tried various flux, saw dust and candle wax, but I'm new to it as well. Might be worth a comment on the Do-It Molds channel where the pros can answer better than I

[@FishnTheSouthOkanagan78]

Can I place some Frankford arsenal cleancast lead fluxing compound in my Lee casting pot to clean the lead for previous pours and have a piece of mind until I have to reload the Lee casting pot again?

[@FishnTheSouthOkanagan78]

I take that as a yes then since you ’liked’ the post!?

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

I have no idea. As I said in this series, I am just sharing what I learn as I go

[@dumpsterfire6351]

Mask glasses and hat had me rolling Fk man I feel your struggle 😅

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Thanks Gramps for that great informative video!!! Did you get the tray to pour clean lead into from Do-It & how long before you can takes to set up? Also do you only put wax in one time? Stay Safe & God Bless!!!!

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

Yes I did, store.do-itmolds.com/Ingot-Mold-Lee_p_885.html?AffId=14

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

I give it like 5 minutes, probably don't need more than that before I dump them out to cool. I flux once, maybe twice if I think it needs it.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

@@FishINwithGRAMPS Thanks Gramps. Much appreciate!!

[@user-zi6ir1xn7l]

Great video. What do you do wth the impurities once you scoop them out? I.e. Where do you immediately place them?

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

on the concrete floor or in this case, my metal work bench

[@user-zi6ir1xn7l]

@@FishINwithGRAMPS Thanks!

[@jarodmorris4408]

I'm confused. I saw you dropped the candle wax into the molten lead but I didn't see any impurities rise to the top until you stirred it so how exactly does the candle wax help the impurities rise to the top

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

Beats me, science!

[@rjmfishtales]

Awesome video

[@rjmfishtales]

Just subscribed. Heard you on live monsterbass just now with Chad.

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

welcome to the fam Damily!

[@rjmfishtales]

@@FishINwithGRAMPS i get tired of watching my own videos. HAHA. Always need something new to watch.

[@user-zi6ir1xn7l]

If I were to melt say 5 lbs of lead, clean it, then use half of it to make jigs, can I leave the rest of the melted lead in the pot and just reuse it next time? Do I have to pour it into a tray like you did? I’m new to this. Thanks!

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

I've left it in the pot. Just turn it back on next time you are ready to pour. I will clean it out every once in a while.

[@user-zi6ir1xn7l]

@@FishINwithGRAMPS Thank you very much!

[@T_J_Fishin]

Where can I get a Pot like the one you used to remelt the old or dirty lead ??

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

here you go: amzn.to/40zsFzj

[@creepertc20]

Hiw do i get the oil spill colors out of the top lair

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

I scoop them out with a spoon

[@R50_J0]

Those colors are from running the pot too hot. Gases from the air react with the casting alloy and produces a variety of oxides and other compounds. One of the compounds formed has the funky purple hues. The fix? Always use a casting thermometer and keep the pot within the casting temp zone. Lead has a very wide temperature difference between the point it melts and the point it boils. It’s very easy to run your pot too hot and think the temp is OK.

[@darrenhupp5190]

What, no crappie or walleye jigs?

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

first things first!

[@vincentnastri7736]

All new gear so your going to make a lot of sinkers it seems?

[@FishINwithGRAMPS]

Jigs, neds mostly
